Exactly. Often, those domains fall into a domain abyss
Yes it's true, premium domains seldom drop anymore and the whole purpose of redemption is often circumvented. Because the TOS are written in such a way that registrars can take ownership of abandoned domains and do whatever they want with it, like auction them. Fortunately you still have some time to redeem them but not always that much.
