Trademarks only help after you've built something and are recognized as a brand. They don’t help indie developers, small startups, or creators at the starting point who just want to launch a project with a reasonable, memorable domain name. On top of that, pursuing a trademark or legal dispute over a domain isn’t approachable for most people—it’s time-consuming, expensive, and often out of reach for solo devs or small teams.
