2) The .io TLD in the past was mismanaged, and has been pwned by security researchers. I don't consider it secure enough for SaaS use, and I won't signup for business services with companies that use it.

Or the reliability issues with multiple reported cases of DNS failures? Not to mention the ethical issues mentioned in a sibling post. I did not know about these myself until just now. Yeah, I'll be skipping .io for my own stuff now.
