Because browsers follow a pattern of reinventing the wheel with different tradeoffs, primarily focusing on "secure" execution of untrusted code from the web. Just look at the stack of web technologies, they provide an ever-expanding set of abstractions and reinventions of what OSes already provide.

Well, I wanted a list of values that, for them, rank higher than human lives. I mean every donation has an opportunity cost, and that cost can be lives not saved. People are implicitly willing to make such tradeoffs. What I am asking is to think about it and make those preferences explicit.

But given the costs per instance that impact is only on a small fraction of all cases. A smaller impact for everyone or one that only materializes in the future would likely generate more utility if you add them up.

Except for the many domains that set very low TTLs for load balancing and cloudiness reasons.

Sophisticated users run their own resolvers instead of relying on unverifiable promises from for-profit entities.
