what you mean is why don't the registrars seriously vet
their customers?

i suspect the job is non-trivial, to say the least.  and
where is the financial motivation?  at $10/year, what do
you suggest they actually do?

as a teensie registrar (for a half dozen small cctlds),
and one who actually does try to verify that the admin
poc answers the phone, etc. as well as server ops, 2182,
etc, lemme tell you it is a major pita for me and for
the folk who help vet.
