.org almost got screwed in 2019 too:

> In April 2019, ICANN proposed an end to the price cap of .org domains and effectively removed it in July in spite of having received 3,252 opposing comments and only six in favor. A few months later, the owner of the domain, the Public Interest Registry, proposed to sell the domain to investment firm Ethos Capital. After intense criticism from nonprofit groups and significant figures in Internet history, the proposal was scrapped.

Surprisingly not by Verisign, who gave up .org in 2003.

Those are all controlled by companies in and subject to the demands of the USA, which has been proving for many years that they cannot be trusted.

Also, all common names with any of those prefixes have been registered a long time ago.
