I once asked why hcoop.net was not h.coop. They met the criteria, but a .coop registration was significantly more expensive than a .net registration. (sigh!) IME US companies don't bother with a .us domain because the .com/.edu/.mil &c TLDs are implicitly US-centric, so why bother with a ccTLD? That's only for nasty foreigners who were too LAZY to build their own internet! ...oh, but they like .us for stupid "domain hacks". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domain_hack
