I would certainly like to have: obispo.home, be a real FQDN, so I can name my home devices, printer.obispo.home, etc.

If I go to a hotel around the world and I need to print in my printer at home, I should be able to do it, I shouldn’t be “hacking” my way around that. In a v6 world, this is going to be common practice, the fact that we have limitations on how we use our home networks today does not mean that those same restrictions will exist in the future.

Perhaps the approach is (if identified as a problem), to have printer.home be on a controlled interruption list for a while, so people can identify and fix their setups.  I don’t know, but the approach where we ban the whole TLD from ever existing because of few that misconfigured their naming, doesn’t seem reasonable to me. (few compared to the rest of the world who will be connected in the future).

Should we also add a .BELKIN TLD?, there are tons of devices that use it (to name a few), what if in 10 years someone decides to create .FOOBARBAZ are we going to add it to the list later?,

We need a better view/picture of the whole DNS ecosystem, we should not be making assertions based on a 24 hour sample of 1 day of root server traffic, let put more effort into strategy for the long term and not be so tactical about these specific use cases.
