What difference does it make to the IETF whether there are more TLD's or
less?

Nothing in general; what matters, as jfc already put very well, is that 
these particular TLDs are acting in place of a function that is already 
provided by the protocol field.

Ok. So the difference is that mobi and tel indicate an application
function, whereas net, com, cc, biz, info, museum, org, etc tend to
indicate business/organiation function? (leaving out country codes--which
indicate locale)

Is it sensible to think of tel and mobi as business functions?
