DNS doesn't generally distribute applications, so no it doesn't apply.

but it facilitates the download.

If that’s your bar, then so does the power company and who ever manufactured your router.

Facilitating the download is not sufficient; the service would have to both distribute and facilitate the download to satisfy the definition.

So a torrent tracker isn't in-scope because it doesn't distribute and only facilitates peer discovery?

What if a dns software has an RCE and a prosecutor thinks it satisfies "facilitates download" clause ?

The clause says "distributes and facilitates the download", not "distributes or facilitates the download".
