Some of these resellers are unscrupulous, some are just incompetent, some for whatever reason leave the business.
Well, sure. Indeed, the reason I became a domain reseller was because it was easier than repeatedly rescuing friends and clients from all of the random nitwits they'd picked to register domains. There are dozens of ways an incompetent provider can make your service fail, with the most common being failure to pay someone else, and we expect people to deal with it. What is there about screwing up the contact email that makes it special? I expect that a lot more than 0.6% of domains are suspended for failure to pay.
