For what it's worth, I think those things are public DNS resolver services.

To me, public DNS resolver services are subsets of a larger "public DNS service," which is (something like) the larger facility for translating globally-unique (QNAME, QCLASS, QTYPE) tuples into resource record sets on the Internet.

I don't think that's a very good definition. Something more like Seth Briedbart's definition of "Internet"[1] would be better, but it turns out that it's late and I'm tired and also I'm not as smart as Seth.
