With the privacy.
I don't know, whether I'm expressing badly due to English not being my native language, or where is the problem in understanding. I hope that you are not just misunderstanding intentionally.
So once again: The combination of ESNI and DNS resolving inside applications (and not OS, not checked by some user agent) provides privacy to application, not users. That application might or might not have its objectives aligned with the users; more often than not, it will focus on interests of its vendor instead. So conflating privacy for application with privacy for user is mistake.
By applications using custom DNS+ESNI, the user loses control over who the application communicates with, he just sees that it can send and receive blobs. What it is sending out, to whom, is and will be unknown. That is the negative wrt user's privacy, compared to which the current Android ecosystem is squeaky clean.
