  I think this is incorrect. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.org
  supports me

"It was one of the original domains established in 1985, and has been
operated by the Public Interest Registry since 2003. The domain was
originally intended for non-profit entities, but this restriction was
not enforced and has been removed."

  Where is your evidence that .org domain implies a non-commercial
  venture?
