Search engine behavior certainly seems plausible.  It's just common
business and user sense.  If you don't know the domain for someone, you
can make a good guess knowing there is only common domain.  It aids
mnemonic reconstruction.  People's lives are confusing enough without
having to deal with multiple domains.  Call it Egoshin's law if you will.
Having multiple iTLDs is like having multiple phone books.   You might
be able to tweak that tendency a little, but not much.  Certainly 
the plain facts suggest the existing scheme has been enormously popular:
.com for companies, .org for non-profits, .net for misc.  c'est simple!
