This is needed for the new DNS resolver using DNS Queries over HTTPS (DoH).

For that the add-on needs to contact the configured DNS server. As the add-on allows the user to change the server to use, it needs the permission to connect to any server.

Note that the add-on has not more permissions now than before. In fact it is part of the long term move to require less permissions.
See also https://github.com/lieser/dkim_verifier/issues/580 for the ongoing work and https://github.com/lieser/dkim_verifier/wiki/FAQ#why-does-the-add-on-need-full-unrestricted-access-to-thunderbird for an explanation on the full unrestricted access the add-on already had for a long time.

Next time please don't use the reviews to ask questions about the add-on. Use https://github.com/lieser/dkim_verifier/issues or write me an E-Mail (in English or German).
