There are some people that asked a similar question but I don't want who gets raw revenue, but who gets the probably obscene margins (profits thus) from paying $10-20/year for linking a piece of string and an IP address?

Don't forget countries. A few, I don't have a list, but including .ai, .pn, are in full control of their domains and do it all on their own infra.

Country-code TLDs are sponsored by the nation-state, but they still fall under the aegis of ICANN.

*Sorta. ICANN has a special relationship with ccTLDs. Registries of gtlds can't put an A record at the root tld.

Yes. Apparently the YouTuber/Web Dev Theo from theo.gg very recently had his domain just...disappear? Due to the country delisting him or something along those lines...he was obviously, and understandably upset in a recent video he released on this subject.

EDIT: Looks like he got it resolved.
