I love that the first selling point is > Protect your identity online so that no one can defame your name. This one is an extortion racket.

It absolutely is. And .sucks domains are much more expensive than most other TLDs.

I was under the impression that .sucks domains cost about $10 for an individual but thousands for a corporation (as an anti-corporate endeavour). I can't find anything on this though, so perhaps I imagined it.

according to https://get.sucks/fees .sucks domains have an MSRP of $250 for standard domains and $2500 for "premium" domains. I can't see a list, but my guess is the "premium" domains are the names of larger corporations and wealthy individuals that the registry thinks they can extort more money from.
