This is how I find out I've still got *.dev pointing to localhost... somewhere

I think all .dev is owned by Google, right? I guess they are using that since they are a contributor on DTP.

Oh yeah it is, I just mean for my local projects I used to use .dev and I still had *.dev pointing to 127.0.0.1 but not on my local machine

It turns out I'd also set it up in my network's DNS server at some point

Yes, Google owns the .dev TLD. Any project you see with .dev has come out of Google in some fashion.

it was such a good idea to preload the entire thing into Chrome's HSTS cache wasn't it?

Absolutely. Makes it break in very obvious ways that prevent people from continuing using it as an internal TLD, probably before the domain is actually owned by someone.
