They should, but domains don't have to cost as little as $10 for that to be doable. Look at all the crap that people buy that's much more expensive and offers less utility. Though I wouldn't actually propose they cost $500, I think $100 or so is still reasonable. Myself and many others bought them in the 90s for personal non-profit use at that price. Add a $100 surcharge which goes to the EFF or some other org of choice. Maybe that doesn't even need to be yearly, but happens when a new domain is registered and each time it changes ownership.
