DNS is a plaintext protocol. It's a new technology. Technically this is better. It reminds me of this silliness I sometimes hear: "I need to use NAT with IPv6 to protect my network" Firefox will allow you to set up a DNS rule locally that forces the client to use local dns, if you need it. You can also configure a DNS over HTTPs server as your DNS. If you help run IT and care about security. Then you should be blocking direct access to the internet anyway. All your traffic should be going through a proxy server. Also defaults should help those that are in weaker security positions. Just because you're lucky to have a good ISP doesn't mean that other people shouldn't be protected by default. You're knowledgeable enough to configure your DNS, you just gotta learn something different.
