I mean, DNS also doesn't care at a protocol level about governance, right?

It's just the actual, practical DNS system that everybody actually uses which does.

Yes. And it is totally possible that a "common" and default use case with GNS looks just like DNS. The spec just does not mandate the governance. In fact, it mandates implementations to honor user-chosen configurations for petname overrides. (See my other comments)
