This presumes that there is value to being registered in one domain
vs. another.  Apart from Netscape's [www.]hostname[.com] hackery, .com
is no more valuable to new registrants than e.g. .biz.

This is separate from the value created by the cost of switching from
one registry to another.  It is that value that is being handed to NSI
without any effort on NSI's part.
