I understand your point and I actually tend to agree with it, but there is another theory that says that the "cost" of these names is just like that of any other name, so any special pricing above that is a form of added taxation, or license fee or however you might want to call it.
If these names are offered for sale, they're going to be auctioned to the highest bidders. The only question is who's going to get the money. I would be surprised if the auction raised as much as $20 million (look at the three existing single letter domains q.com, x.com. and z.com after all) but that's still enough that it's worth thinking about where best to direct the money.
