"Do it all yourself" is a far cry from "don't put all your eggs in the same basket". The latter principle I agree with, the former not so much.

And you are still unprotected from your DNS registrar kicking you out, directing your domain to some "customer terminated" page until you can find another registrar, and have new NS records propagate (days).

You're not really making any points, or at least none that're relevant to this discussion.

Let me summarize: businesses do silly and sometimes stupid things for irrational reasons, or for reasons they never care to divulge. To avoid what happened that led to this discussion, the most suitable solution is to not be at the whims of companies that don't communicate well.

The legal requirements of domain registrars are clearly spelled out, unlike the TOS from, say, Cloudflare which leaves tremendous amounts to the imagination. These are not the same at all.
