Back then most computing was done in office, lab, university settings. Running recursive resolvers for the local network was part of the standard IT setup.

While I agree it was common, running a centralized recursive resolver for the local network is not the same as "leave that responsibility to the querying host’s own resolver"
Sure, but it goes with a more centralized approach to systems management in general. The attitude was often that all of the computers were one thing.
