I see a very obvious one: because it makes the Internet easier to access.

You seem to think the domain-holder is the consumer for whom things
should be made easiest.

I disagree -- the domain-ACCESSOR is the person who we should be
considering.

Companies should be in .COM because that's where consumers will look for
them. Individuals should be in .NAME because that's where associates
will look for them.

Otherwise, we could just call them .1, .2, .3, and so on.
