I suspect some are already eyeing competitive advantage here. After
all, if the root can return your A (MX, CNAME, TXT, RP, whatever)
you are guaranteed one DNS query to resolve your name, one RTT to
a DNS server, etc. Given the roots are well distributed, with
several massively anycasted.....
Shaving a DNS lookup or two every now and then is key to some peoples
business models.
