Who said anything about difficulty.. it is complex, as in there are too many things you have to reason about to achieve any acceptable level of reliability compared to DNS.

Maybe I am totally wrong, but my ignorant assumption is, the moment you and your target don't happen to use the same relays, and you have to go find their profiles somehow else, you immediately start looking at a very much worse algorithm than Kademlia...and a one with way more assumptions most of them about social graphs ... compare that to Kademlia and DNS.

Anyway, we both options are available and if either has enough demand it will be used.
