The service is always named, the package is bind. I stopped adding the 9 many
years ago unless I need to specify a specific version like "bind nine dot
eleven".

Bind is a poor choice for desktop use. Packages like unbound are much better
for that sort of use, and it is fr less critical if those packages have
security issues.
I agree that anyone using a FreeBSD install as a server should be using bind,
but I also agree it should not be the default install. You install bind when
you figure out you need it, and not before.
