Earlier quoted context omitted.

what's wrong with having gTLD? Seeing lots of this new TLD hate, I want to understand the reasoning.

Adding random things at the root of a hierarchy subverts the entire idea of having a hierarchy in the first place.

This battle was lost the second people started using .net and .org for things that wheren't related network technologies and non-profit orgranizations respectively. The nail was driven into the coffin when people started using country tld's for sites that had nothing to do with that country.

If anything this might be step back in the right direction. Whereas I cannot tell anything about the nature or origin of a site based on the fact that it has a .net or .ly tld, I will be able to tell something about nature and origin of a site if it has a .google or .apple tld.

https://com.google - Google showing off their new gTLD in a silly manner.

moc.elgoog would have been much better social commentary on the gTLD explosion.
