Sure there is. ENS, for one example. Plenty of gambling apps for another (I don't find them particularly _compelling_, but they are there and they do work)

Also, it can be used to resolve any resource you want - although you're shifting the goalposts, since that wasn't originally a requirement.
Also this is worse than the current system we have in the world because it wastes more energy in doing so!
It claims it is a decentralised naming system, though looking deeper you will find it is just clever marketing and underneath is it is only ethereum-platform based naming for anything like your address etc. will only work in eth browsers, not all etc. which I have already mentioned in my OP.
The "etc" is important here, because it refers to richer resources such as content hashes. With this, you could load the entire "frontend" for a website from a decentralized datasource, e.g. Swarm. Meanwhile, the backend could be the Ethereum blockchain/smart contract methods.
If the root multisig was deleted, would it be 'decentralised' in your book?

It doesn't claim to be DNS. DNS is not the only naming system.
