And that daemon can handle DNS for my entire network, including multiple computers and a public-facing, always-on server that is central to our production work? And you can guarantee that I'll never have to suddenly stop what I'm doing to debug it? And that it'll be accessible from any wifi spot I'll ever connect to worldwide, and never go pear-shaped when I least expect it?

If setting up a reliable, works-for-everything DNS is really that easy, it's a marvel 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1 ever even gained adoption.

The fact is, "it takes minutes to set up" never takes into account the inevitable time sink that comes when (a) things don't go according to the docs (more than half the time, ask any IT), or (b) when things break (at least once with everything you ever set up, ask any IT).

So no, I don't have that time.
