Why it matters commercially

• A handle matching the brand name exactly is easier for customers to find and remember
• It avoids the credibility hit of a brand's official account having a mismatched or number-suffixed handle
• It's a one-time cost compared to the ongoing cost of customers landing on the wrong account

What this means for pricing

Real dictionary words and brandable handles often price above equally-short random combinations for exactly this reason — the buyer pool includes businesses with a specific, practical reason to want that exact word, not just collectors chasing rarity.
