Why do Lemmy instances have such obscure TLDs?

Whenever I come across a new lemmy instance, it most likely has some sort of obscure TLD (.world, .ml, .ee, .me, .social just to name a few). Why aren't there more with more common TLDs?

Starting in 2012 ICANN started introducing a bunch of new ones partly so there's more addresses and also so that the names can better express the purpose of the site.
