As you know - most companies share the same words with others.
The solution is “branding”
If everybody was called smith then smith.com would be very valuable, but it does not naturally follow that .smith would be a solution, as all this would do is shift the problem to the right a little.
The only other way your proposal can work would be to flip the item or object classification to the right. As in smith.paul, smith.dan, smith.gary
Surely a simpler, cheaper, more manageable and more memorable solution is paulsmith.com dansmith.com and garysmith.com?
With regards trademarks and preventing overreaching how does the creation of new gTLDs solve anything to do with trademarks? Surely this is a matter for politicians and the courts not for DNS design?
Your proposal for .reg a trademark specific gTLD is perhaps the exception. Has anybody ever offered funding for such a proposal to ICANN?
