Would it be hard to make pi-hole into a DoH provider so you could just point your browser at it? Or does that defeat the "just works" factor of the pi-hole?

Probably easier to just turn off DoH in Firefox.
In a home LAN configuration, which I'd expect is the vast majority of Pi-hole setups, I don't think you'd really be gaining anything from DoH.
And even if Pi-hole does support being a DoH server, you'd have to configure that in Firefox anyway.

Presumably you'd want DoH on the Pi-hole in the other direction, so that it's encrypting your DNS requests forwarded out to the Internet. But yeah, there'd be no reason to want to deal with certificates for your local network machines to do DoH from Pi-hole to PC.
I don’t imagine it would. It might be there already. The real problem was mentioned above. We risk a situation where each app has its own doh config and not all of them allow you to change it. There’s nothing necessarily wrong with doh. It’s that app developers are baking it into apps instead of the OS where it belongs.
