What are you referring to? It sounds like you're confused why more than one person made a solution to a problem. There's also captive.apple.com, among others.

  Are there other domain names reserved by IANA for the same purpose? I trust the people in charge of domain names to not change their minds on something like this more than I would a company (such as Apple).

    The purpose of example.com is not for getting to a captive portal page. It is to a domain set aside for use in examples and documentation. AFAIK, there is no guarantee that it won't start setting the HSTS header at some point.
