But coding is easy to learn. It is not rocket science. It is merely language and syntax to learn the basics. They teach math without expecting kids to become math-gurus. How is code different?

Because it murks things up. Same as network-manager pointing /etc/resolv.conf to 127.0.01, and then run it's own resolving dnsmasq on that address. It's trying to be too smart in resolving a problem. And now, when I cann

That sentence in itself is an assumption. There appears to be an experiment with moderately succesful results. Let's expand the experiment and see where the results take us. We could always stop if we don't like future results.
