If domains don't cost anything, what's going to stop spammers from registering literally all of the domain names? Spam domains are already a huge problem, and I can only imagine that problem getting much worse if the gate is not kept.
Idk how to solve that problem but the current system is increasing it: https://www.spamhaus.org/statistics/tlds/
