It's a question of whether increasing reliance on DNS by trying to
get apps and other things to use DNS names exclusively, makes those

For a good part, this is already done. You cannot use IP addresses for
many important applications (the Web because of virtual hosting and
email because most MTA setup prevent it).
And, as far as I know, nobody complained. The only person I know who
puts IP addresses on business cards is Louis
