Personally I'm a big fan of the extension. Call it nostalgia Thanks for sharing!

I noticed a big drop in registrations for 2020. Is that because metrics are only from Q1 2020? were there actually that many drops?

There have been some deep discounts on .net in the past, nowadays not so much which could explain it.

Although I believe that .com is the king, some .net domains look better than the .com version.
Of course, if you already have the .com version.
