So.. in some future Mozilla might select a default DNS provider on your behalf.
Did you consider the upside?
Mozilla can negotiate on your behalf. Mozilla can obtain favorable terms of service, concessions in privacy, third-party reviews. Things you would never be able to negotiate for.
If you think of Mozilla as negotiating on your behalf, they have motive to protect you, and they have the leverage to get concessions from 3rd party vendors.
Think of Mozilla as using the collective bargaining power of it's user-base to get favorable terms. This could be a game changer.
