That will be a requirement only until the bigger players don't integrate this directly. Nothing stopping Cloudflare/Google/OpenDNS to provide integration with ENS.
Anyway, you make it sound like this is just a niche required by a few dozen people. The Brave browser is used by 60 million people already and can handle .eth TLD (and other TLDs from unstoppable domains) natively. It is not a big of a deal as you are making it out to be.

Or we can build a system where we do not have to play whack-a-mole just to use a service?
> You didn't mention that (a) the problem it addresses is constrained to the blocking of authoritative DNS,
I said that is the most obvious benefit, but I didn't say it was constrained to that. Look up again at the top of the thread: people are getting shut out of "reputable" registrars established in "democratic jurisdictions" without recourse.
