I'm relatively uninformed about these things, but isn't it possible to
use an "alternative" root DNS system such as OpenNIC to resolve
"alternate" TLDs as well as "standard" ones, thereby curing the
problem of ICANN's monopoly, by using a system which includes and
surpasses ICANN's dominion?

It would just mean creating an easy way for the user to switch the
means by which they resolve the DNS?

This and vague a priori knowledge is what this layman is going off of:
