I did a large data analysis of DNS caching times across the web. Hyperscalers are the only ones who care and they fix that with insanely long DNS caching.

I'm not trying to just nitpick you here, but, the message I was responding to said "People stopped caring about ulta-low latency first connect times back in the 90s.".

It seems to me that you're saying here that (1) the hyperscalers do care but (2) it's under control. I'm not necessarily arguing with (2) but as far as the hyperscalers go: (1) they drive a lot of traffic on their own (2) in many cases they care so their users don't have to.
