ubuntu 18.04+ not checking /etc/hosts why does etc hosts updates no longer work? How to update /etc/hosts

Question

Why does updating /etc/hosts no longer work?

How can I debug and get it to work?

cat /etc/hosts:

127.0.0.1   localhost
::1     localhost
I added this line
127.0.0.1   kakfa

cat /etc/nsswitch.conf:

hosts:          files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns
networks:       files
protocols:      db files
services:       db files
ethers:         db files
rpc:            db files
netgroup:       nis

cat /etc/resolv.conf:

nameserver 127.0.0.53
options edns0 trust-ad
search lan

systemd-resolve --status:

I put two lines for 127.0.0.1

It should have been

127.0.0.1   localhost     kakfa
::1     localhost
