This is another question.
You're discussing how to prove to Let's Encrypt, or anyone else, that you are the legitimate owner of a domain.
That does not mean that I know or trust Let's Encrypt. The root of trust is an entity I know and trust and which can vouch for Let's Encrypt, which can in turn (or not) vouch that you are the legitimate owner of a domain.
The same applies to DNSSEC. The root of trust being the root servers.
