I run a prolific .io domain... well, I used to, until we bought the .com! I think all domains could be considered "bad" for the exact same reasons listed in this article (".com" stands for commercial, all domains are rented even if you "own" it, and have you seen how bad ICANN is??).
But more importantly, I by-default approach all articles that are titled "____ considered harmful" with trepidation. I think it's a cheap trope to avoid just saying "I don't like this". People have different opinions and it's such a distancing way to state your opinions without having to own them.
(All that being said, this was a delightful post and I genuinely enjoyed the format!)

The "considered harmful" thing is an old tech meme that I think they're playing for laughs more than avoiding imaginary liability.
