If I understand the situation, and the point made above, that seems both
true and (mildly) worrisome. Any entity that could 'grab' such a gTLD could
become the funnel for trusted content in that category.

I took my cue from the phrase 'public trust' :
"And you won't likely find scammers and spammers under a closed gTLD so it
might actually gain more public trust than conventional "open" ones...."
And I take your remark below as a good one:

I guess in the end I am responsible for due diligence when gleaning content
from someguyontheinternet.com (which I checked just now and is taken, oh
well).
