The goal of a landing page is to optimize to users' interests. Therefore, it shows advertising for the most suited (ctrppc) advertiser. It is quite an effective mechanism to direct traffic to the person most willing to pay for it. It's that brilliance and scale which I personally think is the end of the domaining industry (won't explain, will write a long article... soon).
So back to your argument of 'doing better': that is a VERY slippery slope. When you start to say one use is more* legitimate than another you are essentially censoring free speech. If I own cars.com and just want to picture of my dog who is called Car, is that wrong? What if I only use the domain for email and redirect all the traffic because I don't want to do anything. The minute you say you can 'do better' you are taking your own beliefs and subjecting everyone else to them.
Landing pages are for people that don't know how or want to use Google or some other search engine - I'm talking about those moronic pages that look like a whole page of ad-sense links have been inserted: landing pages are not websites really: it's the same backend code and server applied to one's whole portfolio, right, changed on a domain-by-domain basis according to the type-in?
Keyword landing pages are a scourge, not some great expression of free-speech. They stifle economic growth.
Yes, just because you couldn't register that great domain name you no longer have an idea worth pursuing. I guess we can call 'ability to find a domain name' a good filter for finding real entrepreneurs.

Have you got a portfolio of ghost patents too?

My guess is that in your 7 years of domaining you've pissed off more people than you've made happy, overall.
That's a nice story.
