Do you know why Tor exists? Because things like DoH don't stop passive eavesdropping, and DoH in particular only leaks information to more parties, without stopping any eavesdropping whatsoever. I guess it's easy to confuse, thinking that DNS is some private data, but DNS is not even data, it's metadata and other sources of metadata leak much more information than DNS and let build much more detailed profile on you. For example, almost all of the top million websites are uniquely identifiable just by looking at IP addressed in IP packets, as page loads force browsers to make requests to many different IPs and give sort of fingerprints of visits. Nothing short from decentralized overlay network can help with that.
> DoT and even unencrypted DNS is blocked on a lot of free WiFi. Now what? DoH solves this issue, as it was designed to.
No, it was not designed to solve that issue. It was designed to tunnel and control DNS traffic by a corporation. Mozilla eventually agreed to provide a convenient way to block DoH as well as DoH providers agreed to be blockable. So you should expect DoH to be equally or even more blocked everywhere, where DoT is blocked.
You know there are plenty of papers on privacy. No need to repeat all that false propaganda from corporations.
