Agreed. I'm not a Google stan, but I'm inclined to be on their side here. It would be good to switch to a less expensive solution, and I hope the Chromium team does so, but at the end of the day we don't want ISPs to hijack DNS queries. I'm not convinced that I should care more about the extra load on root DNS servers than I should care about the hijacking. And frankly, I don't trust the people who are complaining about this.
