The domain bs is a interesting case of scummy practices in general, .tv was missused in a similar way with awful contracts, essentially scamming a already increadably poor country!
TLDs are a non-tangible arrangement of characters that are defined by a committee at a whim. The countries they are given to have not contributed anything to make them worth more. I don’t see how that can be seen as a scam when they don’t get free money based on a random decision by someone outside of their country.

Didn’t Tuvalu massively benefit from being assigned a TLD that is popular? I read they were able to build an airport with .tv money
They reclaimed many domain rights and are now renting them out for big money, yeah. They were still scammed off by many.
