I guess domains might not mean as much as they used to, but xyz? To me that's something you get for experiments and one-offs, not something you use for a serious enterprise you want to get people onboard for.

I honestly thought this was fake and not from stripe the first time I saw it. (I kinda still do with that domain.)

tld's mean nothing anymore, but they still signal something, and to me .xyz is not a trust-inspiring tld

According to this Krebs article https://krebsonsecurity.com/2024/12/why-phishers-love-new-tl... 13% of the xyz domains was related to phishing, not as bad as .top which ahd 30% but still bad.
