So if you’re able to control a domain name and set Mx records you’ve got portability. It actually works pretty well but it’s not used for individuals so much as organizations. What’s the equivalent or way to extend it to individual users.

For some reason DNS providers haven't iterated on the UX around configuring records much. If as much time and money were spent on making DNS easier to use without understanding all the terminology as was spent on all the blockchain tech, we'd be in a much better place right now.

  A little of both, I guess? Probably also limited response sizes? Weird how culture dictates so strongly what's possible with technology, way more than the tech itself.

  Is it held back by the idea that it’s cached? Or because dns is a sysadmin type thing vs application?

  Never mind DNS software that supported dynamic / programmable responses!
