Can't attack the content so attack the person eh Jeff?

No, they are not competitive or inclusive, if anything, they are rogue.

RFC 1918 defines the IP ranges to be used for private networks and
allocated by the relevant body.  The name space for the Internet also has a
relevant body, any name space that is outside the legacy root name space is
a private name space and as such belongs as a private network and not on
the Internet.  The Internet DNS system was designed to have a unique root
zone, if you do not believe that to be the case I suggest you reread the
applicable RFC's and history.  People may like to change that and have
numerous root zones but it currently isn't the case.  Any roots aside from
the legacy root under the control of ICANN are rogue and not legitimate on
the Internet.  They are private name spaces and belong on private networks,
not in the public network and name space.
