Just thinking out loud.

What happens, let's say, if someone malicious buys youtube.vg and puts a SSL certificate on it ? Will they be able to collect the ID ?

I guess so ?

Yes, but they would also need a valid TLS certificate?

A country's government could also take over the TLD and grab its traffic overnight.
