No, the device owner should be the one. Which could the company/organization that bought the device in the first place, in which case that is delegated to the IT team.
And if the IT team does not want DoH, it is the IT team that gets the final word.
Mozilla has been nice enough to give options to disable that, and that can easily be done with GPOs on Windows, but not all the world is Windows, and if you have a large Mac or Linux use base that uses Firefox, how will disabling DoH be automated there?
And just because Mozilla has been nice enough, does not mean that other developers will be.
