Well .. the root servers and DNS platform in general provide name resolution. Traditionally we think that as a feature/function name -> IP. But there non functional aspects also to consider. Distribution is one (DNS is really good on that), security (DNSSEC comes to mind), multi-transport channel (e.g. DNS over HTTP) are others but like seen in this case there is a non functional need, that interception can be detected. DNS does not deliver that (yet). But it is clearly a need of it in the DNS platform. So calling it abuse, is wrong. It is a dirty hack for a non-existing feature. It is technical debt of the DNS platform and the root server suffer for it because the ISPs and in-house DNS resolvers create the problem. Being angry at Google we can anyway be. They have enough money, enough people and enough power to either fix this financially or as a feature within the DNS platform.
