I agree that it's clear what's going on.
The question is, 'is this something ICANN wants to prevent?'
If yes, then we should discuss ways to prevent this activity.
If no, then let's keep ignoring it.
In what ways does this activity adversely effect the DNS?
Is it a question of stability, or just someone doing something we don't like to see?
Anything over a 2% deletion rate probably shows signs of foul play, if it is such.

The enormous number of deletes is due to domain tasting/kiting. With a
75% delete rate, that means there are three tasting registrations for
every real one.
The registrar info shows that most registrars hardly delete anything, on
the order of 1%, and a handful do all the tasting.
