Oh very true. It is what I keep running into when trying to create something like this. I end up with something where 'the buck stops here' kind of deal. There is a secondary problem too of transfer of ownership. Companies split up and buy each other out all the time. So you have to have a way transfer ownership too. Which in purely technical terms looks like someone else is squatting. But they are not you want them to have it. The existing DNS business system kind of grew into all of this. As in DNS today right now does not preclude anyone not making their own set of domains. You probably could make it very decentralized just using the config options. The problem is someone 'reputable' has to verify. That becomes a weak point and place where someone can gatekeep. Adding any sort of monetary advantage will also unfortunately motivate people to gatekeep. However, money keeps the lights on...
