Well, I agree with you and my experience is similar. I have had no problem getting new sites to rank which are on a year to year renewal scheme. But that doesn't mean they wouldn't do better if they were bought for 10 years ... I don't know.
I know it's not a critical factor, but it might be a helpful one, albeit minor. There are more than a hundred ranking factors, and many of them are minor when compared with the title tag, say or other on page content factors. So if you score well on the major factors, it may matter little if you don't have 'score well' on less important factors ... such has a longer domain ownership term ... perhaps ...
