The comparison with Twilio is unfair. DNS latency is an entire round trip added to every single fresh domain lookup you make. That's a lot of times, and we want those to be as fast as possible. At that point, the raw sockets vs full blown HTTP over TLS over TCP debate matters. Twilio, on the other hand, is used in situations with comparably laughable latency requirements. At least two orders of magnitude. Not saying it's doa, but the question has merit.
