I disagree with almost everything you wrote, but especially this part. There's absolutely recourse in the current system. It roughly goes webhost > registrar > registry > ICANN. If someone is violating your trademark you can use ICANN's UDRP to file a complaint and ICANN has a process for resolving the dispute.

You can even see the market impact of the UDRP if you pay attention. $5k is often quoted as the rough cost to expect when making a UDRP complaint, so it's not a coincidence that most domainers (aka squatters) sell non-premium domains for $2k-4k.

At the very least the bad actor is going to have to reveal their identity to accept your money or to participate in the UDRP. That alone is enough to deter some of the most egregious behavior.
