### Description
When using custom routing, for example using the config detailed in the [v0.16 release notes](https://github.com/ipfs/kubo/releases/tag/v0.16.0), the `ipfs stats dht` command return `Error: routing service is not a DHT`, even though there is a DHT in there.
I understand the relative complexity of searching for a DHT in a custom routing pipeline and the possible edge cases, but it would be nice if that command would work in the (very common) case where there is exactly one DHT. Not only DHT stats are obviously useful, but my understanding is that it's also the only way to figure out if the accelerated DHT is ready to publish.
