You still need to contact the root-servers to find out "who's responsible for .cool" and if the root-servers refuse to tell you, you'll never know
So you set up your own root servers. They're just machines.

But they're only useful if people use them.
How is Canada going to get everyone to hit their .cool root-server if ICANN isn't going to respond to whois .cool requests ?
Everyone keep multiple lists of root-servers ?

So to support these new TLD's, you need a list of root-servers to contact to find out who has the domain...
And why would this be difficult?

Coz then every ISP would need a list of these new root-servers if they wanted to support these TLDs. And if you were on an ISP that didn't support them, then you are SOL
