      In theory you are right, maybe. In real life things do work differently. If one knows a company's name, it is usually easy to guess where to look: name.com.
I know, this does not always work, e.g. Diamond, the graphics cards (etc) company, is under diamondMM.com. Still one has only to remember the name, not the extension. This is much easier, as MM is an acronym for what Diamond sells: MultiMedia. I for one can remember this perfectly, while I would have more trouble to recollect where to find them if they might be under diamond.biz, diamond.comp, diamond.firm or diamond.reg, or, if things get really bad, 20 other TLDs.

A small number of new gTLDs, if it has to be, well, alright then. A large number (larger than 3 or 4) will kill the system, in practice, which is what life is.
