You're an obvious pragmatist is the land of the technological purists.

Keep your head down as much as you can just like I do, and things go much 
smoother. :)

ps. I agree with you, in my experience most end-users will type in 
businessname.com as the first port of call. They think they are internet savvy 
when they do it. If for one would always register the .com and .com.au where 
possible.
