"undue" is a subjective conclusion.

As for that kind of situation - that's what happens when one decides to
become a regulated supplier.  What you describe is normal life for bodies
subject to things like public utility commissions.

And what is ICANN if not a regulatory body - the public utility commission
of its root in the Internet's domain name system and the IP address space?

And like many regulatory bodies, it has become captured by those it 
regulates.
