Why do companies and organizations get special treatment over regular people? I think a simpler fix is just to ban any companies that register domains from squatting on them.

Were regular people prohibited from applying for TLDs when applications were open?

Not that I know many people who would have been interested in paying the fees.

The bigger problem is the rent seeking some registrars are doing now by increasing prices. Not sure what domain portability might look like (maybe requiring multiple registrars per tld), but something like it would solve this problem.
