You've answered your own question. DNS blocks are not just "easily circumnavigated", they're completely ineffective. Use a different resolver, run your own resolver, add the domain to a hosts file… DNS is the simplest and easiest method of finding a site's IP address, but hardly the only method. Even very non-technical users can locate and follow simple step-by-step guides to get around a DNS block. This order is akin to having someone's name purged from the phone book when there are many other ways to find the same information. Given that the DNS block will be ineffective in preventing any of the (alleged and mostly imaginary) harm from the (alleged) copyright infringement which the target of the order isn't even involved in, what purpose is served by issuing the injunction?

At the very least Quad9 deserves compensation for any costs incurred in implementing this injunction, given that they are being unwillingly dragged into the middle of a dispute between two other unrelated parties. Ideally this compensation would come directly out of the judge's salary for issuing such a pointless injunction, but I suppose it could be paid by the plaintiff instead for requesting the injunction in the first place.
