Agreed. On the other hand, these DV certificates only claim to verify who _controls_ the domain. Probably, you can agree that hosting provider and government can also control the domain, no? :)

Moreover, with dns-01, DNS provider can issue fake certificates - unless you self-host DNS - in which case, only your DNS registrar can... and a government.
