Ok…. now a rabbit hole. I looked at some vanity TLDs, and it appears the ALOT of big companies have their names as TLDs, but almost none of them are using it for anything. Why is that? Is it just a copyright play to protect the name from some else taking it?
People aren't used to URLs not ending in .com or possibly their local ccTLD. Anything else looks suspicious or isn't even recognised as a URL and less people will visit it. It doesn't even make your URL shorter because you'd need to include "www." in front to have any chance of it being recognised as a URL. Perhaps even "https://www."; to drive home the point.
Maybe this will change over time, but maybe not.. there's probably nothing to be gained by fighting it. You want people to visit your URL? Don't use a weird URL.
