Why? unless you manage to get 'cheaper.' as a TLD, and create the name
as domain.name.bargains.cheaper. - or am I missing something?

Empirical evidence indicates the biggest problem is finding the 1 out of 41M
.com domains and avoiding all the typosquatters...

See the NANOG url I posted yesterday - 98% of the TLD load is borked, and
nothing we do about this will address the issues (in fact, if anything, the
traffic for that part of the 98% due to non-caching will increase).

Notice that you don't get the lower prices and cartel breaking by increasing
the number of domains, you get it by increasing the number of registrars.
