Without dignifying the argument that DNS doesn't benefit from confidentiality and needs only integrity, DNSSEC doesn't even reliably provide that. The vast, overwhelming majority of zones aren't signed, and because DNSSEC is a failing protocol, probably never will be signed. On the rare occasions when a popular zone is signed, the user experience is awful: unlike with TLS, where an expired record generates an obnoxious popup, with DNSSEC they fall entirely off the Internet --- which happened to HBO Now the week they launched it across all of Comcast.
DoH provides confidentiality and query integrity now, without requiring a boil-the-ocean step where every DNS administrator on the Internet signs their records.
