The point of the homenet name is to provide a zero-configuration namespace
for consumer devices.

ACK

Corporate environments are a somewhat different matter, since you can
expect them to own their own domain name and have people who can set up
devices to use it.

BUT this need not necessarily be a public domain ..., just think of Active Directory Domains ...

  Internal networks should either use a subdomain of the
company's public domain, or register a second domain for internal use.

such a registry where you can register domains for internal use doesn't exist ... not one registry is willing to give me a domain - even when I pay for this - which I only use in a LAN,

and the authoritativ DNS servers would then just be  127.0.0.1 or ::1


so there is the need of a TLD a company can use without conflicting ...

there is a security reason why companies often use .local for this case ..., but since RFC 6762 this conflicts ...
