OK I know this sounds kind of shitty but hear me out for the sake of argument. If there is some political issue and say .ai domains are taken over, what's stopping IANA from just taking over that TLD and moving the zone to some other entity? Most domains there are owned by international business and some IANA members might want to keep them running.

What would they gain with that?

Nothing, just some arbitration process that may or may not adjudicate against them. There have been a few disputes around certain ccTLDs, in the end it's a mixture of political and commercial interests that need ad-hoc mediation in most cases.
