If you search for these example domains in the network traffic logs of any largr company you'll see at least a few hits. This is a security issue because people use example code, copy pasted into prod code which mostly does nothing due to the domains not resolving or not hosting the appropriate content but if an attacker took over these domains they will expose a ton of companies to an attack.
I believe example.com or example.org exist specifically for this purpose. I hope those of you who write documentation keep this in mind,especially when your example domain has never beeb registered.
