Cloudflare is well known for breaking DNS standards, and also then writing a new RFC to justify their broken behavior, and getting IETF to approve it. (The existence of RFC 8482 is a disgrace to everyone involved.)

Of course.

This really depends on what side of the fence you are on.

As a website host/maintainer, I am happy that the DNS 'ANY' query has been deprecated.

I am sure if you are a network engineer or ISP, then it propbably annoys you no end.

    Why? What benefit does this bring you, or what negative consequence would otherwise have resulted for you?

      Because without the ANY query it is much more difficult for people to immediately enumerate a full list of all subdomains and IPs for a given domain name. They need to be queried individually.
