Unpopular opinion (maybe): given the current situation, we should probably consider phasing out TLDs somehow. It's becoming more and more clear than no TLD outside those established before the '90s are actually viable for anything outside of "my small personal blog". It would also avoid people having to remember if the TLD is .net or .com, for instance (even though in my experience .net is slowly disappearing too).

If you don't have TLDs, would each DNS server need the details of every domain?

if most domains happen to be .com, isn't it basically the same?
