In theory isn't it "just" a matter of agreeing a DHCP option number, then having the DHCP client (or vpn client or whatever) be responsible for passing it to applications that want it (including the system resolver, be that mDNSResponder, systemd, glibc, whatever windows uses)
Anyone who wants to can configure their dhcp client to ignore it, or use a different service, you could even have applications doing that too, but this would allow a network operator to tell people where the recommended resource is.
Likewise if you want to change your DNS provider yourself you would have a single location on your machine to do it for the entire OS, rather than having to change 50 different applications.
