My website is in there but with a typo (people often make that mistake) :( The website with typo doesn't exist.
Can you buy the domain and redirect them?
Periodically searching this list for purchasable domains seems like something scammers would be very very interested in. Honestly, apple should be making sure every one of these URLs goes to a live website and that the website is still exactly the website they intended it to be.

#44Wikileaks.org etc are in there. Leaving them out would be wrong IMHO. I'm not sure what to make of having them in there though.

This is off topic flame bait.

It is a mainstream website mirroring the mainstream opinion in Japan so the target of your very valid criticism is the Japanese public, not Apple. Similar would be criticizing Apple to not include foxnews.com in the list. It's not Apple's fault that American culture has brought us to such a website becoming mainstream.
I won't call it a "mainstream site" but agreed with your other points.

I assume it's for pre-populating the address bar suggestions. Even on a fresh browser with no history, users probably want 'nyti' to complete to 'nytimes.com', for example.
https://nyt.com
For some reason I thought the NY Times didn't own nyt.com. I chose a poor example, apparently!

#48My competitor is in this list and I'm not, even though my site is more popular. There even are some small Dutch campings, municipalities and regional football clubs on this list. It's a strange list for sure.

Which is the cause, and which the effect? Was apple's incorrect autocorrect causing them to go to the wrong place initially, or did they autocorrect list get built from the incorrect attempts?

You should "make of" it that Apple consider it a popular domain people try and navigate to

#50Anyone know how this list was created or how often it gets updated?
My hunch was that it originated well before iOS, and could be traced back to forking KHTML, but if that hunch was right I can’t find any way to validate it.
Agreed. Some of the domains there were popular 10-15 years ago, but are now relatively obscure. Meanwhile, high traffic domains that have emerged over the past few years are missing. Compare "pricerunner.com" and "tiktok.com" for example.
