Do they get rid of TLDs once the country they are assigned to goes away? I assumed they'd sell them to someone or something.
They might not have much of a choice but to shut down all .io domains. This video explains a little: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yJ6AZsUlpc

It's surprising that this happened at all. Isn't it in most business's best interests to be aware of their most high-profile customers? If this was an automatic process, it's pretty disappointing that it even occurred. If I was running a SaaS, I'd probably want to mark my important accounts so an actual human has to investigate any raised alerts instead of being dealt with by a cron.
Domain names themselves are a loss leader for registrars. They make money by upselling customers on hosting, email, certificates, analytics etc. So if you are just paying a couple dollars a year for a domain name and nothing else, your profile doesn't really matter. You are in the lowest tier of customers.
Doubtful. Registrars have almost no costs - any markup over the registry fees is almost pure profit.

>a fan page for an existing Funko Pop video game (Funko Fusion), with links to the official site and screenshots of the game. I'd expect them to remove that, they're not a host for fan pages.
I never understood that urge of people to do "fan pages" (or fan anything, without the permission of the original creator) while at the same time blatantly ripping content.
