There are price tiers for different domains. If a domain has been classified in a premium tier, then its create and/or renew price is significantly higher.
Price tiers are generally controlled by the registry (Google Registry, in this case.)
This is going to happen to .tv too: sometime in January 2023 GoDaddy Registry, which just took over the .tv tld from Verisign, is adding premium price tiers when no such tiering had already existed.
- danillonunes 4y agoIsn't .tv a country code TLD?
- mikea1 4y agoYes, a registry just manages TLDs. The registry Verisign, for example, manages .com, but it's not the owner. In this case, Tuvalu owns .tv and they contracted with GoDaddy Registry to manage it [0]. It can be confusing because the lines are blurring. For example, Google has considerable vertical integration: they operate a registry, a registrar, and they own a few TLDs too.

- danillonunes 4y agoOh, I see, it was a deal with the Tuvalu government. For some reason I misread it like they bypassed the country's authority somehow.
