As a person who have been working on DNS before early days of DNSSEC,
I remember very well why DNSSEC was developed.

Careful key generation is a sometimes overlooked but absolutely
essential element in any cryptographically secure system.
That is, DNSSEC was wrongly believed to be cryptographically secure.
