DNS was designed specifically as a replacement for /etc/hosts. It’s in the opening paragraphs of RFC 1034 about why a single file wasn’t viable anymore.
Even for TLDs I think the problems/issues tends to be more about operations of the TLD, because it’s generally a little more work than just a zone under a TLD.
But yes. Changing ownership of a TLD that’s operating under existing guidelines for all the domains that use it, is a bad thing. I’ll caveat that with, if it can no longer be operated by the group doing so it should change ownership, but the same protections for the zones inside it should be preserved in the sale.
