I've had TLD's saying they want the hard line to be there as it
backs up their stance.

The IETF can say what is BEST practice.  If gTLD's feel they cannot
meet BEST practice they will not do that.  No one can make someone
follow BEST practice.

Every time I hear "But the gTLD's can't do" I see a conflict of
interest showing.

The IETF can recommend things that gTLD's can't do today.  There
is nothing wrong with doing that.  It puts the IETF's position not
gTLD operator position.
