Your reasoning why DNSSEC is bad has been "most websites don't use it". Does that mean TLS was bad back when most websites didn't use it?

People have been trying to make DNSSEC a thing since 1995. Even when "most websites" didn't use TLS, basically all of ecommerce did: TLS has been load-bearing since the 1990s. Meanwhile, here in 2026, it is literally true that if the root keys landed on Pastebin tonight, almost nobody would need to be paged.
