No, the real question is: why do you find it desirable to centralize a distributed service?
I believe that centralized DNS resolvers such as 8.8.8.8 are of benefit to those folks who can't run their own recursive resolver because of OS, hardware, or skill limitations, and yet do not trust the ones provided by their ISPs. I use 9.9.9.9 for my home desktop to avoid the interception of my DNS queries by my cable company. I'd very much rather get an NXDOMAIN than a connection to some web server that wants to offer me a "helpful" web page, even when I'm running a non-web client like ssh or 'dig'. And I'd really like not to enrich my ISP's trove of information about my browsing habits by them recording all my DNS lookups. Of course, 9.9.9.9 could be collecting that information, but they're in less of a position to insert ads than my cableco is. - Brian
