NSI does not own the root domain .com .org .net or any other TLD. They were *hired* by the NSF to manage the registration of domain names for these TLDs, and they have done a deplorable job.

There you are very wrong. Prior to September 1995 you were correct.
Go and read the cooperative agreement sometime. Its on the web, you know. It clearly states two things: 1) that NSI may be permitted to charge at some point in the future to defer costs, and that 2) at the end of the contract, everything reverts to the NSF -- EVERYTHING. The contract also notes that NSF is funding the contract but that the origin of the delegation is the IANA. I strongly urge people to go and read it for themselves.
