Why would anyone tell you that “.local” would conflict when you were supposed
to register a name *before* using it.

Because some vendors gave bad advice in their documentation, particularly in examples.

That’s been the case since the very beginning.
No one ever said there would not be new TLD’s registered. You gambled and you
lost.

If an end-user follows advice from vendors, and the vendors turn out to be wrong, maybe statements like that are inappropriate.

If you are doing AD correctly you should be able to register you machines wherever
they connect to the Internet and that requires a public registration.

And that is what Microsoft has suggested in all their documentation for many years.
