On the contrary, I think google removing this ability actively removes user choice. A choice that I think users should be able to make.
Slippery slope argument: I run a PiHole on my network. Perhaps Google should also absolutely require DNS over HTTPS in Chrome, too, because it's nothing short of dangerous to allow third-party DNS servers to inspect and modify arbitrary DNS requests.

It's also Google's decision to make extensions auto-update by default.
