Why don't they purchase gTLDs?
2 comments

They're ideologically opposed to ICANN's authority over gTLD registration, so even if they could afford to I don't think they'd want to.
I imagine the cost is too much for them or for any business to sponsor them unless it's by a FAANG-level company. $125k is the cost for gTLDs, and 2-letter TLDs can't be bought.
