Domain names are not issued by the government, but a certain government may be able to take over control of a domain. However, https://thepiratebay.org is still online and still facilitating bittorrent downloads of copyrighted material, even after all the persecution in the past.
So, why not use more domain trust in addition (or as a fallback) to the WoT? For example, if I already follow more than 1 person on a certain domain, my client could automatically trust any other user with a valid NIP-05 address on that domain, at least until I have to block a pubkey associated with it. And it could even go and see which domains are trustworthy within my WoT.
Non-Tor relays are already based on DNS anyway, and a lot of people also use NIP-05. So it's not like domain trust isn't part of Nostr at all right now.
