Interesting you mention those quotes, taking into account this problem is due to the government externalising some critical infrastructure.

I think this is a naive view of the situation. The authority still belongs to the US Department of Commerce -ICANN just has a contract, which incidentally expires this year- and multiple governmental organizations have publicly argued that fake WHOIS records impede their regular activities.
The apparent externalization is great for shifting blame, though.
