In article <CAH1iCiouFfMRYoREwhhTbQfnNserw3RVUPs8Pzc8CvNEhysYCw@mail.gmail.com> you write:

The obvious question is if an organization is willing to use
example.com.zz, why wouldn't they use zz.example.com with split
horizon DNS to keep that subtree on their local network?

For whatever reason, people like short names where short means two components.
