.org is .org, and they have a lot more pricing power than almost all of the gTLDs (generic top level domains).
Their customers, if you think about it, are perhaps more likely to value what the domain stands for. Meanwhile the annual price is currently absolutely trivial versus the expenses of most organisations from higher GDP countries.

Some of their customers perhaps. If you go back and look at what companies were doing with domains 20 years ago most medium and large enterprises bought <company name>.com, .org, .net and some country code tld domain because that's what everyone recommended "in case someone cybersquatted". I think behaviour has stopped now there are hundreds of gTLDs available. Consequently .org is much less likely to sell to businesses, and will find it very difficult to grow.
The same people that are involved in this shady set of dealings are closely financially intermingled with the owners of donuts.com, the largest owner of TLDs by far. Expect to see large price increases across the board.
Even if they push 60% of domains off of .org that business will mostly go to other TLDs owned by the same people..
