Someone needs to make the LetsEncrypt of domain names. A new extension (or several) that is totally free and encourages people to own their content.

Back in the day long time ago was ml.org that was free and we had a few other domains too. Volunteered with them and learned loads. Still wish there was something decent now.
There are a few free domains around still though.

You can get free under .TK / .ML / .GA / .CF / .GQ but yeah it’s not really at the level of letsencrypt

Indeed. It would require someone to pony up the money to ICANN to bootstrap, but I think it could be done. Especially if it was for personal use only.

@cleverdevil I had a .tk domain in the early 00s that was free but they put an iframe with ads on every page if I recall correctly. At the time it was worth it to me, but I would not do such a thing now. Something similar but really free would be great.

That might work for people that understand LetsEncrypt (non-trivial) but will fail to address what I think your main point is: more people (not developers) to own their content. This still all very esoteric and difficult for people
