It feels like this is a battle (maybe "battle" is too strong of a word) over "who will control the single, traffic-coordinating bean". Where as we can instead create - by convention not law/authority - a whole new set of decentralized "beans", no? For example, can a competing, decentralized equivalent to DNS be leveraged which right out of the gate leverages ipv6, allows for easier-tom-implem,ent decentralized nodes, etc.? I'm not saying this is easy...but surely it could assuage any concerns over control of conventional DNS, no?

You can already create that.

The problem is getting everyone else to configure their systems to use it.
