Thirty years ago, when you did domain registrations by e-mail, the registry which was then called Network Solutions did indeed check that your name servers were active before delegating the domain. It was not an accident that they stopped doing so, and it seems vanishingly unlikely that any gTLD registry would do so now, regardless of what people here might think.
