Also, who you will really trust to run it ?

The UUCP network chugged along quite nicely for many years without any
central authority.  (Pathalias and the maps weren't an authority, just
a hint.)

And there would have been total confusion if there had been multiple
uunet's and a few other well known nodes.  UUCP had anchor points.
Just different ones to the DNS.
