not really.

it's about the blocking occurring in reach of the user (client) or not (infrastructure quirk that has to be worked around)

DNS isn't "infrastructure". It's just a simple key-value store, like Redis or something.

dns more or less was infrastructure for the last 30 years. nobody cared.

the fact that for-profit shops wanted a piece of the intelligence within made it surface and now the webheads are shitting on it like there is no tomorrow

Nah, BIND is just really shitty software, so everybody thought that DNS must be mystical and special.

Run a better DNS server and see for yourself that there isn't any man behind that curtain.
