Maybe their point is just privatisation or something.
For example a dns provider like cloudfare just could artificially make latency costs for servers that don’t agree with something cloudfare does bigger, which would result in them being less likely to be displayed in a search result because a search engine would have IP adresses faster from other servers. This obviously depends on if a search engine makes dns requests or just provides hostnames for the end user.

And then you could change your 1.1.1.1 to 8.8.8.8 and be free 🫢
You can set up a caching dns server on a pi at home with very little effort.
using google is not what i’d call free
Yeah. Maybe not 8.8.8.8. More like 9.9.9.9.
