Most people weren’t following the Chagos Islands news, and I doubt most people with .io names bothered to check any notifications here. A lot of people just pick them up and set them to auto-renew and generally don’t think about it again. Those people won’t be impacted today, but they will be once the domains get transitioned away, and it’ll be a rude awakening for a lot of people.
The simple solution is to not buy country TLDs unless you live in that country or something.
I’ve seen a lot of hobby projects using .io because it looks high tech or whatever. I’m just saying people should avoid using country TLDs unless they live in that country or do business there.
I’m not saying I’m “concerned” or anything, just that the impact will be fairly large and noticeable.

What changed quickly here? You guys are terrified of the mention of the idea of possibly having to plan to commit to a change lol “normal ones” 😂

That’s very noble to be concerned for those people
