I'm curious why the government always creates entirely new domain names to manage the communication for class action cases, I've seen that practice before and personally it that feels cheap and slapdash when ag.ny.gov exists. Is it because the AG was a party in the suit so it has to be managed by some other entity?

The government doesn't run those web sites or send out the checks, the company who settled or lost the class action pays through a settlement administrator who collects the entire amount and verifies the proper class members get paid. The settlement administrator creates the websites.
