I just spoke to someone at Namecheap and it looks like they didn't resolve the agreement issue over who owns the domains as despite becoming and ICANN accredited registrar they're still operating as an eNom reseller.
I guess they don't want to end up like Registerfly (a former eNom reseller, who got ICANN accreditation - which was eventually terminated) when eNom terminated their relationship with them, eNom gave Registerfly customers the ability to instantly push their domains into an eNom account through verifying and acting on the email sent to them including a free transfer so there was no fees to the customers.
Registerfly ended up losing the majority of their customers (through that and a ton of poor business decisions etc) & Godaddy ended up buying the remaining domains in Registerfly's portfolio [1] - it didn't acquire the company as ICANN was taking legal action against Registerfly for its continued noncompliance of the court ordered injunction.
