Is every namespace that becomes popular doomed to become a battleground between expoitative squatters and overreaching corporations? Are people named "Veronica" doomed not to be able to use their name online anywhere because it'll already be grabbed either by Archie Comics trying to protect their trademark or some squatter trying to infringe it?

my quick answer is: yes, if the allocation method is first-come
first-served.
