Why would other people consider it?

Incidentally, there is a similar mechanism available for the F root nameserver, in case people are not aware:

  dig @f.root-servers.net hostname.bind chaos txt

For most people this will reveal a nameserver hostname with a "PAO" or an SFO in it. People within the catchment of a local anycast node of F will see different site codes.

"hostname.bind CH TXT" is a general feature of BIND 9, and not a special feature of F.
