None of these examples are of actual separate registration/ownership of a 3LD from the parent 2LD. Cloudflare owns the domain for myproject.pages.dev and hosts all the relevant infra. Not to say that there isn't a different entity represented by the 3LD than the 2LD but it's not exactly the same.

Also I would not consider the examples of tumblr and reddit to be relevant. A person's blog on myprofile.tumblr.org is still the tumblr organization. This would be true for reddit even if they didn't redirect. Reddit admins moderate content on all subreddits.

I see, that's a valid way to think of domain ownership.

When I read > I have been taught and tell my users to check the domain to verify a website is real.

I was thinking more of control of the content as "ownership" of the domain.

You can buy example.it.com on many registrars. Someone bought it.com and operates it like a TLD.
