I like the idea of Namecoin, but I agree with you that there is no profit in it. Namecoin is missing something very important: Browser acceptance. There are no browsers that use Namecoin domains natively. That's why domains like xyz.com sell for hundreds of thousands of dollas whereas the xyz.bit isn't likely to fetch you fifty bucks. Lack of good governance.

There are servers you can set your browser to use when bit is used but that's a hack. I open any browser in the world and I can open steemfiles.com. steemfiles.bit? Why bother?
