<<< If we are going to have new TLDs soon of some type or another (which seems likely), then it seems to me that just creating an open .biz and .shop and etc. will solve no existing problems, and tell us what we already know, that undifferentiated open domains make no sense. >>>

Not to harp on the subject, but in all honesty, you contradict yourself.
You hate it when people obscure the intended vision of the various specialized TLDs, but see no sense in opening broad, general-use TLDs.
I think you have answered your own question.
In short, you have a choice: accept one approach, accept the other approach, or denounce new TLDs altogether--which is valid, but a drastic price to ask fledgling businesses to pay for the Ideal of Tidiness.
