@knowprose @Edent even if you verify your own domains now, there's still issues around expiry.
Forgot to renew and someone can often take it and associated accounts over via that dangling verification and they can continue to act in your name.

Also as a user I want government or otherwise official accounts to be verified, which we get to with low friction/effort on their end, not by them or even me paying money.
Enforcing verification at the platform probably has incentive issues.
