It appears that Joe Abley  <jabley@strandkip.nl> said:

Thirty years ago, when you did domain registrations by e-mail, the
registry which was then called Network Solutions did indeed check that
your name servers were active before delegating the domain. It was not
an accident that they stopped doing so, and it seems vanishingly
unlikely that any gTLD registry would do so now, regardless of
what people here might think.
