They are still a problem whether you think they should exist
or not. The problem is that they are added unilaterally
and people using them expect everyone else to be able to
resolve them as well. The method of adding them was wrong
as it does not scale. If every language added the equivalent
you would have hundreds of sets of nameservers that you
would have to track down and add to your own configuration.
The whole point of the DNS was that you didn't need to do
that because it provide a *single* namespace from a *single*
set of servers and you didn't have to graft on hundreds of
TLDs.
