Yep. I was speaking from a netops/sysadmin standpoint. My belief is that TXT and HINFO saw declining use within an org as Microsoft Windows DNS Server usage grew[1][2][3]. 1. Windows DNS Server hides those records behind a sub-menu item. 2. Windows DNS Server attracted noobs (a good thing, I suppose). Heck, these days, we give low/middle-tier IT workers DNS server access (via DnsAdmins group), which is crazy in my mind, but nonetheless common. 3. Crusty, old admins were better at typing yy in vi and changing the record type when creating new records in BIND (old DNS software).
