† (spoiler: Apple, Google, and Mozilla dabbled with it and then rescinded their support; Mozilla and Google have both stated, Google more formally than Mozilla, that DANE isn't happening)
[0] Yes there's CT to help catch dishonest registrars, but a similar regime could be applied to registrars directly to force transparency around changes to TLSA records.
Further: a mis-issuing CA can be put to death (as happened to the largest CA when Google caught them mis-issuing). You can't revoke a TLD.
Meanwhile, CT actually exists today and is meaningfully combating misissuance, and obviously does not rely on DNSSEC to function.
This is false. That article makes no such claims.
As magila stated, registrars are already a trust anchor for domain validated certificates. Trusting a certificate directly via DANE vs through a domain-validated certificate doesn't change that. It does, however, cut CAs out of the process, which reduces the number of trust anchors.
When your argument starts depending on redefinitions of well-established concepts, that's a sign that you should reconsider it.
Everyone who uses .com must trust the authority for .com, because that registry's name servers are what delegate control of all domain names in the TLD. Every time you resolve a domain name like "example.com", you are relying on the name servers for ".com" to serve correct information.
If the registry was malicious (or if an attacker compromised it), then the registry could easily seize control of any domain name -- it could rescind the delegation and publish whatever DNS records it chooses, including the DNS records necessary to obtain a domain-validated certificate.
It is correct to say that we "trust" TLD authorities because they can do these malicious things, but they commit to behave in a certain way. We trust TLD authorities in the same way that we trust certificate authorities only to issue certificates following a certain process. Both of these actors are capable of fraudulently obtaining certificates: the CA can mis-issue a certificate directly, whereas the TLD can seize a domain's DNS and trivially procure a domain validated certificate (from a legitimate CA).
This is what I believe Ajedi32 means when referring to "trust anchor" (using the term informally). DNSSEC is not adding new trusted entities, but is rather adding PKI around an existing trust relationships: a child DNS zone (e.g. example.com) always needs to trust its parent zone (e.g. the .com TLD). In the PKI sense, I agree that it would be adding new trust anchors, but those trust anchors would simply model preexisting trust relationships that don't use PKI.
On that note, we also need to trust the Internet root name servers that point to the name servers for the TLDs.
If you want to use an idiosyncratic definition of a term, that's fine --- I won't, but I can at least follow the argument. But what you can't do is say "that citation you provided does not say what you said it does" when it clearly does using the mainstream definition of the term. It's especially fallacious to pull out this semantic argument about a reliable source that generates a surprising conclusion about trust anchors!
DNSSEC adds trust anchors to the Web PKI.
Obviously, I disagree with the argument that we "need" DNSSEC to securely issue certificates, but the rest of this thread adequately captures my rebuttals to that argument.
Besides that, you were just plain wrong, twice (you doubled down when I showed the quote that refuted your claim). It's fine to be wrong; I'm wrong all the time! But stubbornly refusing to acknowledge when you're plainly incorrect to the extent where you redefine words is not a good look.
The central point of your comment is still completely wrong though. DANE does _not_ add new trusted actors, and has no significant negative security impact.
