That’s… weirdly a thing.

Do you use your car’s built in navigation function — that you paid for — or do you plug your phone in and use its free Google Maps or Apple Maps to navigate?

Yes actually, I happen to save the built in GPS for occasions when the phone network is inaccessible.

I didn't pay for any navigation for my car, so I'm not sure what your point is? ISPs provide DNS. People shouldn't have to fuck with the internet's phone book when they plug their modem in (and they haven't for a very long time). Maybe we can expect more from the people who provide the services society relies on, instead of just saying "why don't you just..." every time someone has a legitimate complaint about something that ought to Just Work.
