BGP can be hijacked. Anycast IPs exist. Rolling out a new release when one of your IPs is unavailable could be a severe challenge. SVC records are actually kinda neat.

No. I do not want an "API" in my OS to reveal information about me. I do not want this to operate without my consent. I do not want to be limited from accessing certain sites because I refuse to implement this. No age verificati

The single layer of abstraction. Pokemon cards have utility within the game of pokemon. They additionally have value in secondary market places which is not strictly tied to the rarity of the item. These markets are not required to exist
