AFAIK no one lost their domains when that happened. IIRC there was even an opportunity to move from a third level domain to a matching second level domain.
That’s a lot different than having a TLD disappear along with all the domains.
I don't see any of those domains today so I assume they were asked to migrate somehow?
I think a lot migrated to second level domains. I don’t remember exactly how it worked, but third level domain owners got the first chance at the matching second level domains. There are still some on third level domains, but mostly to avoid collisions I think.
