ICANN,RIPE,AFRINIC,... Why non for profit organization (NPO) ?

Hello everyone,

I would like to know why ICANN,RIPE,AFRINIC,... "Companies" can be categorized as a non profit organization ?

I ask this because, to get your TLD on ICANN, you need to pay 200.000$ (180.000$ + a value annually )
And on RIPE for exemple, to get you IP range you need to pay something arround 2.800€(around ~2950$) just to get your private IP range.

The real question is not why you pay (Seems, obviously are people are working in their side) but why they are categorized as a non profit organization ?

I have a many other questions, i would like to ask like, can ICANN delete a domain name if they are forced for that by authorities ? Is just a exemple

About the price to create a tld (ex:. .int,.cup,.tax,...)
