All you said here was that a DNS service is letting someone list DNS records for a domain. That's totally harmless if your domains NS records aren't pointed at their nameservers. You can do this with Route53 and DigitalOcean right now if you want but it won't have any impact because your domain name NS records point to your DNS provider.
As you mentioned in your other comment though, which you hadn't mentioned previously, cloudflare's DNS resolver started using their records before they'd actually received control of the domain (which was of course rejected). That's really bad and surprising, but allowing someone to setup DNS records for a domain name isn't a problem and is required in some situations for DNS migrations.
