I am sure everybody understands the economics.
PIR has eliminated the tasting with their non-refundable fee in the same way
airlines have eliminated the no-show with a fee that is non-refundable in
case of cancellation. So what?
Eventually we will have registry costs that will reflect reality, ICANN, WECANN or others being in chage. 
- registering a name
- updating a name
- renting the name on a daily, weekly or monthly basis rather than on a yearly basis 
- permitting competitive yearly, decade, century discounted rates.
Because, market takes time but eventually forces what is a stable business rule. No RFC says that domain names are to be paid on a yearly basis for the DNS to work properly.
