1) no.

2) There are multiple organizations running DNS and the general consensus is that there shouldn’t be a single organization running it (except ICANN which is generally careful to delegate the root and TLDs to other organizations.)

3) Just because you have one bad thing doesn’t mean it’s ok to have two.

Not strictly necessary, but convenient. All browsers I know of allow you to browse to an IP address.

Well, I tried to respond to GP with a tongue in cheek link of an IP address to lmgtfy or Wikipedia on DNS or something, but every site I tried checked the Host header, (I assume) so it didn't work.

This shouldn't be downvoted. I distinctly remember browsing websites by their addresses.
