I'm so looking forward at IPv6, the death of NAT, and billions of IoT devices with all ports exposed to the world :-)
This part of these attacks confuses me.

I get why you don't want to run email - it's highly reputation driven. But as far as I can tell, running nameservers is no harder than running webservers or DB servers. HA is potentially even easier, because the system was designed that way from day zero.
I'm not suggesting I'd run one for my personal website, but twitter and github are already managing distributed networks for this. What are the services Dyn and others provide that are so invaluable?
Is there any info on what volume (how much bandwidth) the DDoS attacks were?
I am sure the DDoS problem is something that the free market will sort out. The individual players will make it costly for the other players to send problems their way. I expect a chain of "charge the next node for resource usage" to evolve. If this chain will go all the way to the end user, I don't know. If it will, then end users will probably start using routers that feature restrictions / monitoring / control of…
I am not sure why this is being downvoted. I think it's an interesting perspective. After all, it's in pretty much every internet user's and provider's interest to have a working internet.
The bandwidth use isn't notable until you get pretty close to the destination. Thus, the costs are (mostly) borne by the victim. Basically it doesn't put the pain where it needs to go.
This attack looks like another probing into critical internet infrastructure Bruce Schneier had talked about. Who's next?
