Agreed - the license to use the domain granted by IANA is only for inclusion
in documents (https://www.iana.org/domains/reserved). There isn't a license
to use the domain for testing or any other purposes.

But example.com is a real domain that that even has an https website. The
certificate is issued by digicert, and the subject says it's to ICANN. If
the certificate is not requested by IANA or ICANN nobody should issue a
certificate for it.
