Then those RFCs should be worded carefully so that they don’t suggest that the thing they’re proposing is generally applicable.  Particularly to the roots.  Which are actual critical infrastructure.

Since when are root servers a “business?”

We’re talking about critical infrastructure that everyone depends on.  Not some random person’s “business” that can fail or not fail.  This isn’t a place for pointless thrashing around as a byproduct of someone’s unrelated agenda.  Which was, I think, the point of the statement.
