I hate the very high prices for early access. This is anti-individual-developer, pro big company, rich people.
I can see it's a way to let big companies save off their amazon.dev domain or whatever. I think a much more preferable early stage practice would be to let people who can authenticate their name let them get their name .dev. I've been trying to buy my personal domain name for a while, a name squatter has been sitting on it for years, they don't even answer their contact email. A second domain that is commercial is also in a similar category. How do these companies keep their domains and never sell them?
Someone like say JohnAkbar.com has to wait and hope another JohnAkbar or a squatter doesn't get their name. I'm also jealous of people that have more unique names. People get vanity urls or twitter handle like things with my name and never use them. Sure, first world problem but
