Knowing better than the owners is a matter of tradeoff.
There are whole isps and even countries (including the UK shortly) which mess with DNS requests. Helping the millions of users who are in that situation, and don't even know what D Sits, seems like a net good. As you say, experts can choose to disable it.

How many hoops you have to jump through to pcap your own software on your own machines now that certificate pinning is becoming popular? What when someone will have the bright idea of implementing certificate pinning for DoH inside browsers, "because security"? (I could live with the choice between having to somehow acquire Chrome Enterprise Edition vs. switching to Firefox, to have a browser I can control. I'm worried now that Firefox might be turning into Chrome, though.)
