Historically, the view has been that bloating the root servers in that way would be very dangerous.

Counter-claims observe that .com seems to have survived with a similar storage and traffic pattern, so why should there be a problem moving the pattern up one level?

because it makes the root more expensive to run, and thereby makes the root more vulnerable to capture by people bent on making money or wielding power (and all that that entails) rather than running it as a reliable service for the benefit of the entire network.

indeed, the history of .com provides many instructive examples of why the root should NOT be run the same way.
