Because the privacy concerning aspects are literally irrelevant.

These are set for testing/development purposes. For which the priorities are availability/reliability/speed. For those criteria, Google/Cloudflare are empirically the best worldwide.

This literally is used for test-resolving that at best probably would identify a systemd-dev. Everyone else shouldn't care because it's overwritten by distro maintainers.

Likely unit tests... https://github.com/systemd/systemd/tree/master/test/test-res...

I am not a systemd maintainer, they probably could be adjusted, but frankly I don't imagine they or I care enough to do so.

Like I said, this change only affects the devs, so why should it matter to anyone else.
