So can any TLD holder. The rules for .org might change to disallow individuals. .com might outlaw non-profits. .net might get restricted to ISPs. There is a small, but existent, chance that all the oxygen molecules in the room I'm in are going to decide that they'll huddle up in some corner, leaving me to suffocate. I refuse to worry about it.
If you want to be paranoid like that you can send the rust foundation some money and tell them to spend it on the .rust and .ferris gTLDs.
@barsoap @GetOffMyLan It's not even all that hypothetical tbh. I don't recall the details exactly but there was a big scare a few years ago when .org changed hands.
