A few years ago I had a .us TLD. I eventually decided that I probably shouldn't be reliant on a country code for my domain, it's the same reason why I don't use .io

I'm not saying that this couldn't have happened with a gTLD But why put your brand at the mercy of a government like that?

Literally every single TLD is administered by a government.

.com itself is under jurisdiction of USA and operated by Verisign
