That's not really a consumer-friendly solution. It's also borderline illegal in the EU IMHO (if you hardcode DNS servers in the USA, for example).
The toxic ISP issue isn't so dramatic where I live, it used to be worse 15-20 years ago. But the solution has always been: if the ISP is messing with you, you just buy your own router and configure it for your network, with a VPN tunnel if necessary. Ignoring DHCP makes this unnecessarily harder.
