No, that would be foolish.

It is foolish.


We automatically ignore any pseudo-TLD that only exists within
a walled garden, because it is simply invisible outside.
It isn't part of the global Internet. If it appears in any
way outside the walled garden, it is meaningless.

This is why it is so foolish:

As you can see the wall which the existing root system has drawn around the alternative or open public roots has resulted in technical difficulties for the IANA root. The same issues have applied to the chinese root as it has become popular. As you can see living in a walled garden don't work.
