It is not hype. 3 letter acronyms form abbreviations of full company names for thousands of businesses around the world. That's why they have always been and always will be one of the most popular and easy to sell classes of domains in existence. IBM.com is much more memorable and easy to type than InternationalBusinessMachines.com. The fact that they are both rare and serve a very important purpose accounts for their high price.
