Noone is asking strong enough to get correct data from the whois

So as long as that is what people ask for, you will not see iris.
I'm not sure anyone is actually asking for the current horror story
that is whois. We've just hit a stalemate in this trench warfare where
no progress can ever be made because everyone has settled for the
status quo: the least worst option that the majority of players will
grudgingly accept.
That there's no uptake seems to me to be an indication that
registries don't want additional costs.
Registries do only implement what people ask for.
Or what they're compelled to implement. In theory ICANN could get
every gTLD to use IRIS overnight by the stroke of a pen. It's just a
teeny change to the registry contracts, right? :-)
