The tradeoff is blocking open public DNS resolvers like 8.8.8.8

You could I guess spoof them for the exact same reason, but border
router blocking might be better, after all, 
security risk - poisoned caches etc...  It's why no one here (I hope),
runs a public open resolver.

But adding it to the fine print in SFOA/T&C's etc,  might be beneficial
in case someone wants to break contract because of it.

and putting tin foil hat on now :)  it would log those requests, and who
knows what google does with that data, it sure as hell doesnt do it for
the goodness of the planet, there is a commercial reason behind every
decision and service they provide.
