All this comes about as I had the expectation that DIG would run in a similar way to any other 'dns lookup' - which it currently doesn't.
It is what it is, but I've always considered dig to be a tool aimed at giving you a means of doing lookups independent of your client's dns-related behavior and configuration. It's the one widely-distributed tool with that property. Such a tool is invaluable when trying to determine or confirm specific server behavior.
