So 25 years ago, some smart guy thinks "hmmmmm this internet thing may take off, I am going to register me a domain name......"

The internet was a little different back then. Symbolics was the name of that guy's computer company, and the internet was made up pretty much only of government, universities, computer companies and government contractors.
.com was for companies, .net was for networking and .org was a catch-all for other organizations, and they stuck to that.
