ICANN published a report on DNS Abuse that's one of the most interesting of the last few years. It is based on four years of data but it also captures things that the EC report completely missed due to its extremely narrow timeframe. On page 5 of the ICANN report the change in the kind of abusive registrations from October 2017 to February 2022 shows some kinds of abuse being reduced. This may correlate with a decline in bulk registrations. https://www.icann.org/en/blogs/details/icann-publishes-dns-abuse-trends-22-0... https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/last-four-years-retrospect-brief... There is an economic effect with some kind of DNS abuse in that low cost registration fees enable some kinds of abuse. The SIDN report from a few years ago also pointed out that there was a major shift of abusive registrations from the legacy gTLDs to the new gTLDs. That coincided with heavy discounting in some new gTLDs.
