Unless someone is using a ccTLD domain to target an audience in a specific country, they should stick with .com. How many potential customers do you think will be suspicious entering their credit card details on or doing business with some .crap site?

You tell us, clearly you have precise stats and did A/B testing? How I see it, there are gazillions of .com sites looking so miserable that I would never leave them any kind of info no matter are they .com or not. For me, as a consumer, layout, and design are crucial when deciding is a site serious or not. I am not looking at the domains because It is 2019, and most of the .com are taken long time ago. Will that stop the internet economy? I don't think so, on the contrary.
Can't remember when was the last time that I was looking at extension when I was buying something. I am looking for info, content and trustworthy page organization and feel.
So as you can see, it can be different based on personal taste and preferences. If I am reading well, you agreed that it is possible to get good results on other domains and that was major topic at this point.
To get things back on track, I would rather invest money in established authority domain or invest in good link building (considering I am doing SEO on my own).
As mentioned, above in my previous post, this business can be done in so many different ways. As long as it is brining money and converions are satisfying , it is all good.
