Hello, How much are your domains?
They are free
Good, I will take them all.
That is what low cost domains do - encourage hoarding.
If a person had a valid use, then a renewal of $100 - 200, would be acceptable. However, he would not want to pay for something unused - this is much like old cars you see behind houses, ready to scrap - few have up to date licences.
I feel that ICAAN should increase renewals to ~~$200 - which is a reasonable annual cost for something of value in use, but too expensive for something parked and rusting away.
This would up-end the domain squatting business model - a model abetted by the people that control the web.
Each country can set their and adjust it to rein in squatters.
Another way is to traffic monitor (with some smarts) to cancel unused domains after a few months measured unuse. This would need some oversight, with a reclaim period of ~~6 months for a valid reason
