I'm having a hard time believing (a) that you think Wave failed because of the tech stack, and also (b) that you think when a product launch fails, all products that conceptualize the market/problem in that category will also fail

Your reference, NextDNS's discussion of their approach and how it differs from others, is from 2019 and no longer correctly represents how pihole works. Pihole has handled this since release 5.0.
