The .ga top level domain (TLD) is the country code TLD (ccTLD) for Gabon. For many years, .ga domain registration was handled by Freenom, which allowed people to register domains in .ga for free, had lots of bad people set up .ga domains, and finally got sued by Meta (aka Facebook) and closed down .ga registration. In the wake of all of this, Gabon decided to take .ga back from Freenom and run it itself (press release (PDF), also some commentary). As part of taking .ga back, Gabon removed quite a lot of previously registered .ga domain names.

The QWERTY layout is, I grant you, an illogical mess. I'm happy to hear your arguments that Dvorak is the one true way. Or that Colemak is several percent faster. But QWERTY is a standard now. Everyone uses it on their laptops and phones. It is used everywhere.
Except, it turns out, streaming services.
