Unless people actually stopped paying for porn on non-.xxx domains, or they payed more for porn on .xxx domains, then there is no market force encouraging porn companies to change what they're already doing. Exactly. If .xxx became the de facto "porn tld", to the point that porn buyers look for .xxx sites first, then yes - the porn operators would move to .xxx. Not saying its likely, going to happen, any of that. Just responding to your point that .xxx wouldn't work because porn companies don't want it. Re: your rant - was this necessary? Obviously you knew what I meant.
