In 2011, Network Solutions was acquired by Web.com, from Verisign. Things got much worse.

I agree with this. I had to show their escalation support how to use dig to view public DNS records vs. their own internal DNS. I still have some domains with them, only because all the other registrars seem to be following the same path or have other issues I find even more repulsive. The process to become a registrar is just tedious enough to keep me from doing it.
I worked for a company that also got acquired by Web.com. They definitely replaced technical leadership with MBA types.
