The DNS simply does not have the technical capacity to hold a zone large enough to satisfy every person or entity that might want to have a name.
I've suggested that the numerical limit is at least in the range of several millions - as demonstrated by the size of .com. But there are billions (with a "b") of people, and I don't think that anyone believes that a single DNS zone will scale to those numbers.
So I agree that technical competence (including adherence to standards) is a necessary condition, but it isn't sufficient. There needs to be some kind of system of allocation. I have suggested 10,000 new slots a year - that way it will take us a century to get to a million TLDs.
