DoH doesn't prevent filtering. Sure, it doesn't respect OS or Network-enforced settings, but that's kind of the whole point of its existence.

DoT (and DNSCrypt?) would arguably be the better alternatives in these cases.
So, use-cases are absolutely being addressed in DNS' case at the very least.

I think DoH and ESNI are exactly the kind of response expected from a tech firm like Mozilla: Fight for its users and invest in the right technology that helps keep the Internet global despite the many efforts to dismantle it, not just by governments but by big tech in equal measure. In fact it is big tech that sells "cyber security" solutions to these governments in the first place: A trillion dollar market opportunity [0].
Look no further than ITU to see how anti-user, pro-corporate, pro-government politically-influenced technology standards can be [1]. Things might take a steep dive given Google's [2] and Facebook's [3] recent inroads in the Communications industry. This pro-user political engagement from Mozilla et al is more than welcome, in my opinion.
