That's ridiculous. In the worst case a domain name would cost $10 or $20 instead of $8 per year, which is less than actually hosting a page on that domain.

I don't care if speculators take all the good domains, or even a lot of mediocre ones. The current state of affairs is that speculators have a very large number of all reasonable domains, just because it's cheap.
