Those are two different problems:
- A working IPv4 stack.
- Proper DNS setup.
Laptop users and people on network with bad sysadmins or with a lot of
paperwork (my university for example) might not have a working DNS
setup while their ip communications are just fine.
So, your premise is wrong.

So is the conclussion :-)
