I see it as supply and demand of sorts
I recognize some of those domains from two years ago, had a site on
mutiple tlds, automatically removed in a year, they don't point
anywhere now, the people who got it saw a supply, they didn't use it,
while the resources aren't much, the point is gone if there is no real
demand, if it's really of that much value, prove it, get a domain,
make a killer site.

I see this as a dare, justify the time and effort, resources (however
small, it's not 0)

I'm running enough sites as is, so I won't be taking this dare.
