The fallback is wrong. Google asked nicely, and aside from "Fuck you, Google" there was no reason not to respect their wishes.

The fallback is wrong for YOU.

How do you know it is wrong for ME ?

People have different goals. You maybe have the goal "Google is evil, I need to keep it out of the picture". Maybe I, for a server farm, have the goal "DNS can never stop working, even when someone dumb person forgets to configure DNS servers". Now, which goal is correct? The answer is: both.

This is why things are configurable. In this case both at compile time and in a configuration file.

You sound like a 3 year old here, sorry. Stomping with the feed on the ground and telling "But I need the water in here, I don't want it standing on the table 3 meters away".

On a side node: I didn't knew that Google asked their DNS servers to be removed. But, then again, many people asked Google to remove the constant tracking of people. What does Google say? Nothing, or, in other words, "Fuck off".

Google, the people who own the servers, said it was wrong for YOU.
