I looked at this extensively a couple of months ago. There is also an ICANN recommendation along similar lines, but focusing more on stub resolver configuration and search path processing, which is a better fit for systemd-resolved. The feedback I received from subject matter experts is that complying with these ICANN recommendations (for search path processing) would break about 60% of all deployed Kubernetes clusters (and not just inside containers). I think some people have since started on updating Kubernetes practices and recommendations, but I expect that it will be a few more months until we see first effects. I don't know if the systemd developers have conducted similar research before implementing their stub resolver behavior, and why they have reached opposite conclusions. One problem with DNS is that you cannot take the standards and official recommendations and use them as a reference for a new DNS implementation. Many of the specifications are very old, some are quite poor, several of the sub-protocols are very badly designed (like using timeouts for protocol version negotiation; obviously that one never made it into an RFC, but was still widely deployed), and the entire space is extremely politicized. Not just by governments, but also by groups of individuals who for some reason cannot get along at all.
