I do see a business case for not selling. .canon for example - you could provide every device with its own domain ie xhshe3u45.canon etc. So there are some cases where it does make sense.

You can do that already with uuid.cam.canon.com. At best you save a few characters.
Never co-host real applications and user controlled sites on the same root domain. You're just asking for a neverending stream of problems. (This is why everything ends up on googleusercontent.com and friends instead of google.com)
Can you go into more detail why? I'm curious.
It can lead to security issues with cookie sharing and domain validation.

My example would have been better as <uuid>.canoncam.com
