Why dev.to?

Very very off topic. But what is the significance of .to in dev.to? Why not any other TLD or other domain?

Is it registered in Tonga?

Just asking anyone for a solid answer.Any specific idea behind this

Please don't treat me as spam

Just like the .io domain, .to began being used by tech startups. Its easy to remember and TO its a preposition in English which can help.
But that's my guess.

Never seen any other startups using .to
Maybe I missed a lot
