DNS seeds which give you a list of hard-coded stable nodes.

No, they don't do that and you are reading those answers incorrectly.

The DNS seeders give you a list of random nodes from a set of stable nodes. They are not hard coded and hard coding nodes is against the DNS seed policy. Furthermore, these are used as seed nodes, which means that your node only connects to them briefly to get more nodes to connect to. These nodes are not necessarily the ones that your node actually connects to for its normal connections.

The hard coded seed nodes are only used if the DNS seeders cannot be connected to. Again, these are seed nodes so they are used to get more nodes to connect to, not the only ones that your node actually connects to for its normal connections.

Because the nodes that are received from the DNS seeders and hard coded into the client itself are seed nodes, you get a diverse set of nodes to connect to because those seed nodes will give you a random list of nodes that they know about that are probably good to connect to.
