I think you substantially overestimate the number of providers that behave ethically with regards to DNS and substantially underestimate how many people have shitty ISPs. You seem to have a very skewed view of how the number of internet users distributes across the world. Even in Europe, providers are not refraining from hijacking DNS and using DNS blocks for certain sites.

I think you substantially underestimate the number of networks that use split-horizon DNS for their functioning, and where hijacking the DNS is going to cause significant breakage.

I've never seen any marketing materials, where Mozilla limits themselves to non technical users with zero home network. Did you?

No, but they do exist and specifically in this case (since they mention public wifi) pro users capable of configuring their system dns might not be the only target audience

So make it active only for public wifi, or whatever is labeled as public network by the operating system or firewall? Certainly not all networks.
