Quick question: Why wouldn't I use my free tier registrar DNS? Are there really that man DNS queries serviced cause you pay based off the number of responses? Especially if they are stupid domains.

As far as I can tell, there’s only 2 upsides I’m getting by using AWS as a registrar:
1. I’m lazy, and I already manage a bunch of other stuff in AWS, so it’s convenient for me to have the domains in the same place
2. For some of the domains, I’m serving records that point to other AWS resources (like Cloudfront and S3). AWS’s Route53 has clever helper features when you’re pointing records at other AWS services).
Otherwise, you’re right that there’s plenty of registrars that’ll do perfectly solid DNS
