Like:

RFC 2605
RFC 7686
RFC 9476
...?

I don’t think this has been or is the problem. I believe the problem starts 
when users want to make particular assumptions about names that do not exist 
(e.g., they should be looked up in some non-DNS system, they are for internal 
use, etc.)

As Paul points out, this suggests a need for documentation on how an end-user 
device that happens to include a DNSSEC validator should behave in the face of 
names that do not exist for some purpose.
