This thing could have its benefits. If Apple grabbed .icloud, say, then people could have yourname.icloud, or something like that.

Yes, and .icloud makes a lot of sense, because it's company or product specific. .cloud makes NO sense because neither Apple nor Amazon nor any other company owns the idea of clouds.
