A problem is that home routers may filter the broadcast

ISPs and the routers.
Yup; it's messy, and in many many different ways. Won't be a snapshot
rollout. Not a bad idea, though, if implemented correctly; time to dig
out my notes, I guess.
Is there a reason not to use an outbound tcp/quic connection? It was
unthinkable years ago to use TCP with DNS, but now we have DoH and the
world hasn't spiraled out of control. Heck if you made it a websocket
you'd have a built in channel for multi-media html, etc. That is, just
push a URL down and fire up a webview that the OS makes certain is in focus.
