DNS is something network operators (and not just governments and ISPs) has managed and controlled in their own networks for decades. It has been part of the network stack, with a clear hierarchy in how it is governed: - network operator - network default - operating system - application default - end-user override - when the defaults doesn't work When something has not worked, you could reliably assume this was the stack used. And you could rely on it being used consistently across all applications. Needed to deploy internal applications? Great: Just override the (local, internal) DNS. Need to access servers or machines on internal servers? Use DNS! Now if you make some random applications and decide to flat out ignore the established stack and just ask the internet about DNS... You're effectively breaking the network and the conventions which has been established to build them. Ofcourse people are going to hate you. That's a given.
