Sure, that's fine. I'm just responding to "... something nobody has asked for," and below it, "No, [you didn't want the thing you say you want], you wanted [other thing]."
Not everyone wants the thing I want. But that's different from nobody wanting it.
(However, a system-wide DNS resolver using DNS-over-HTTPS is definitely a thing I want! I've been considering writing an NSS module in Rust for it, as a way to play with writing a loadable module with tokio, to see if that even works.)

Sure, system-wide DNS resolver using DNS-over-HTTPS (and the autodiscovery using DHCP/RA!) would be a good thing; each app going rogue and piercing through your policies/DNS/firewall is not.
