People do not need one if they do not want to configure one.

The DNS query traffic to Google resolvers may be hijacked in some contries,
or
just blocked.
For people who really need a default one, it's may be a better choice to
use
the default gateway as the default DNS resolver. Or we may patch systemd-
resolved to scan the local network to find a usable DNS server.
It's funny to see systemd-resolved.
