I have registered a "premium" .app domain myself last year when the tld was released. I was very annoyed when the price of the domain increased by almost 50% this year, so I guess there is also no guarantee that the price you registered the domain for will not drastically increase in the future?

It is really bad when you think about it.

You registered a domain, put all your money and effort for the banding, one day, just when you starting to see the return, the domain fee become x10 expensive.

The register is basically siting there and waiting to loot somebody. Serving a 3 letters domain costs no more money than a 30 letters one if not less, so they don't have the right to charge for more.
