It’s not a threat model issue. It’s more of a let’s make Tor less dependent on a few public resolvers. Running our own resolvers just makes more sense at such a scale.

There has been discussion over the past several years that the Tor network should not use public DNS resolver as it has security implications on the Tor network (https://medium.com/@nusenu/who-controls-tors-dns-traffic-a74a7632e8ca). Should new Tor Exit Relays be probed and not included in the consensus until they're running their own DNS resolver and not relying on a public one?
