'how are you going to define 'use the domain exactly''
Well for starters, it might be useful to have actual name resolution rather than nothing but a whois record.
Back 30+ years ago or so, I sorta randomly named my home subnet of the form firstinitiallastname.net, then when wifi came out I similarly named the ssids. Then a couple years later I decided it might not be a bad idea to register the name but some guy was using it as a vanity domain. That lasted for about two years and then it got picked up by a domain squatter and has been sitting there completely unused for > 10 years. Today the whois record points at ename.com, which I contacted a few years ago to find out how much it was going to cost to transfer the domain. Apparently they have some kind of bidding garbage, but it counter-bid the $25(or similarly low amount I offered) to something like $15,000.
I have another domain, i've been planning on using, but updating a 100 wifi devices passwords is a PITA.
