It is not always about what something is not doing, but rather the unintended (often malicious) use cases it enables without any way to prevent or mitigate.

curious what “malicious” use cases a decentralized name registry enables that dns doesn’t?

you're focusing on the first part (what it enables) and not the last part (without any way to mitigate)

ah interesting. won’t multi sig solve this issue? create multiple keys, and have a 2/3. if you lose one, hope you don’t lose the other.
and also - there may be a way for the naming contract to use social recovery for keys.
It wasn't designed to replace DNS, but there are an increasing number of people using it for that.
