Sure, but your entry in the block chain that is just a link to nowhere isn’t much more exciting that telling people about the cool skin you once had in a defunct game.
In one instance, you’d have indisputable proof of ownership, but only your word in the other. The former is not that different from money, which is not even paper these days but a record in a database.
Indusputable proof of ownership of what exactly? The expired domain the nft points to? Nope. Whatever the link once pointed to? Nope. You only have owner ship of that particular urls representation in that particular block chain which confers you exactly nothing else. Not much different to the state you’d be left in with skins in a defunct game as I said.

AWS going down wouldn’t erase the NFT out of existence. Valve closing down would certainly remove every Steam market item.

Or if someone else buys the domain name and now your fancy url resolves to porn.
