Would agree on that. I've ran a DB of over half a billion domains from past and present, 95% of them have no "SEO value" according to the metric tools. Anything gTLD getting dropped is mostly getting ran through an auction and/or dropcatch process which means anything available an hour after expiration is either a ccTLD that others didn't have in their DB, or for some or reason wasn't attractive to other prospectors using zone files.
