Could be caching too. Bunch of services like youtube and netflix, at least used, use DNS to direct users to local servers. This enabled a better experience for the users and lowered the amount of bandwidth

They also used this method to block region restricted content. Here in Aus Foxtel has a monopoly on all the good shows, they charge >$100 per month if you want access to everything on their crappy, ageing cable tv network. After Netflix blocked the vpn workaround, alot of people went back to torrenting

I wonder if that will be a side effect of this. If the default is DNS via Google, then sites can differentiate on that and do nasty things like block non-google or give different results.
