Indeed, they were all as you describe. But now lets consider the number of these type of domains registered (in the millions) compared to the number of businesses with sustainable (model and financial) backing. I truly acknowledge what your trying to say, But it is a weakness in regards to domain investing. Perfect for fantasy land, but that is about all.
A few indeed turn into the registrants forward thinking business idea. though Very, very few I'm sorry to say, The solid ground is where there is already demand and that is quite often difficult (in regard wording) to identify for many.
I completely respect and understand your opinion. However, I prefer to dream! and here's why.

I bought this domain name a few days ago not because of how I could have flipped it and made $250 or even $2500. I bought it because of how it made me imagine of what it could be. A thought process if you will.
It started by how the name caught my eye in the first place. when you first come upon the name, the first letter the person see's is the "i", but more specifically they see the dot of the "i" first. Than human nature wants to start to make sense of what they are starting to read and they naturally start looking to the right and start to drop the eye down to the "n".
Now because the "i" and the "n" complement each other and logically makes a word to the person starting to read it, they now are starting to comprehend that it may be a word because they've seen the word "in", and therefor they naturally want to read it further to satisfy their curiosity of what the word will be after they sound it out to themselves.
After the person has dropped their eye down to the "n", the "n" pushes the eye further to the right by showing the person the round part of the "b", they really don't see the shaft of the "b" because the "n" dropped the eye downwards.
Now the person is confronted with yet another challenge, and because of the skinniness of the "i", that allows the person to see another "b" and therefor starts to put together another part of the word that makes sense, which is "bib". so now we have "inbib"
Now here comes the last part of the name. The last part of the name is the most satisfying and gratifying. This is the best part of the domain name because it allows the person to finish scrolling their eyes to the right by completing the name for them and gives them the satisfaction of spelling out the word allowing them to roll it off their tongue.
After the person has finished seeing the second "b" and reading the word "bib", the eyes are then taken for a sweet short rollercoaster ride. The eyes are immediately thrown upwards to the "l" and than brought downwards to the "i" showing the person the word "li"
Now once the person's eye's have hit the last "i", the shaft of the last "i" is level to the "o" which pushes the eyes to the "o" and therefor completing the word "inbiblio"
Furthermore, esthetically and visually speaking, it's very pleasing to look at. Look at how the 3 "i"s complement each other as you look it. It's like they are all little soldiers standing in their places. Than look at the shafts of the 2 "b"s and the "l" and how they work well together to divide the "i"s and allowing for those pleasing highs and lows of the structure of the name. Look at the "lio" and how it allows the eyes to flow gently downwards to the right from the "l" to the "i" giving the eyes permission to finish reading the word by flowing it over to the "o".
Now once the person has finished reading the name, they've come to the conclusion that it spells "inbiblio". This than intrigues the person that has read it because now the word has some familiarity to them, like it's a word that may belong to the dictionary. The person starts to think of the words bibliography or bibliothèque, see the word "biblio" in both those words.
Now the mind right away thinks that this may have something to do with books, and lo and behold, it does! If you do a google search for "biblio definition", you will come up with this answer:
combining form
prefix:
biblio-
relating to a book or books.
And this is where the spark between the name, my dreams of what this domain could be, and me making the purchase of it, because in reality the domain name found me and was calling me to bring it to life.
This domain name should be an online e-book store.
inbiblio.com - E-Book Store.
I hope you enjoyed my journey on how this domain name found me.
