You are absolutely right--we need DNSSEC validation in everything.  But 
mapping your web browser analogy to DNS, we only need the library 
providing getaddrinfo() to validate responses.  BIND or Unbound on 
everything is equivalent to running a caching web proxy on everything. 
We'd end up with about the same amount of brokenness and stale data 
issues as well.
