Historically, the view has been that bloating the root servers in that
way would be very dangerous.
Counter-claims observe that .com seems to have survived with a similar
storage and traffic pattern, so why should there be a problem moving the
pattern up one level?
because it makes the root more expensive to run, and thereby makes the
root more vulnerable to capture by people bent on making money or
wielding power (and all that that entails) rather than running it as a
reliable service for the benefit of the entire network.
indeed, the history of .com provides many instructive examples of why
the root should NOT be run the same way.
