I would actually find it much more annoying from a troubleshooting perspective if every single IOT device I buy has a different hard-coded DNS server, provided by that manufacturer, instead of the one set by my local DHCP server.

RE: configurability ... I thought one of the main reasons people went with Google over Apple, specifically with Android, was precisely because of their configurability. Every person I talk to that left iOS tells me this.
