They could have had their own resolver before, or even hard coded IPs.

Using software that doesn't respect you is the problem.

Firewalls can redirect port 53 to another IP. That prevents things from hard coding to a specific IP.

Euh, it prevents a custom resolver sure, but hard-coded IPs bypass the need for DNS completely.
