You're 100% on this. That seems to be the whole point of DIDs, but under today's internet I think BYOD and domain ownership is a better solution. That said, none of the registrars seem to be working towards end-user domain ownership.
TakingNames.io is a cool project that works a little bit in this direction, they provide an OAuth-type flow to grant an application permission to update your DNS records on your behalf.
