Fair point on the speculation angle, but a domain with no site isn’t always for sale. Plenty of businesses only use theirs for email. I’d want to see the no-site domains split by whether they have MX records before drawing conclusions.

Renewal data isn’t public, so I can’t say for sure. You probably see that side better than anyone. My guess is that a good share of them are email-only or just held quietly by owners.
