While that's an unpopular opinion I tend to agree, I'm still on the fence if that's really bad or if I'm just grumpy about change though. It really feels like instead of fixing the underlying problems we're duct taping the internet by moving HTTPS to OSI layer 4 and making TCP and the concept of ports obsolete for a majority of use cases - which in many cases implies a loss of control. I'm honestly not sure why our sector pushes HTTPS solutions over plain TLS, is it just because it blends in with web traffic and it's easier to grasp because more people are familiar with the basic concepts?
Of course there's arguments for and against these aspects in the case of name resolution, both technical and on a legislative level, but maybe a net win in terms of privacy protection for the majority of users is still worth it. And should Cloudflare or whoever decide to misbehave with the data we send, it'll at least be easy to switch to other providers when DoH is widely adopted.
