I’ve been looking through the internet and i haven’t found an answer, everything i find is saying i should use a website like godaddy to register it to my name but i need to pay a yearly quota and it leaves me asking myself why can’t i just grab a URL not owned by anyone else

Nope, you have to pay a registrar who will be an intermediary between you and ICANN. You can’t negotiate with ICANN directly for the domain. ICANN is the central authority that delegates authority to map domains to owners.
