Sure, it can serve domains. But there /is/ more than that:

various storage formats (flat files, MySQL, LDAP, Active Directory);
replication (IXFR, multi-master);
less-common record types (SSHFP, SRV, CERT, HINFO, or arbitrary types);
protocol features (NOTIFY and EDNS);
security (TKEY, DNSSEC, DLV);
dynamic updates (plain and secure, manual or integrated with dhcpd);
DNS64 translation;
forwarder zones...
even such basics as performing recursive lookups (for putting in
resolv.conf) and ability to be a secondary server (which MyDNS
cannot).

[Also, technically "DNS" means Domain Name *System*, not "Server".]
