> So the status quo is no better than this
You're completely missing the point. Users have many different ISPs, and them knowing DNS queries is not a problem because it's the ISP anyway. Now a browser wants to change that behavior, and send ALL queries to one american company.

Indeed, I think that in this case, on the whole, more privacy is achieved by decentralization rather than by encryption...
So the status quo is no better than this, and at least this is encrypted and protected by a privacy guarantee.
Now I agree that ideally a user-visible preference should be created for the DoH resolver, but I don't think that's a blocking issue. Just like the accounts features uses a mozilla server, and chrome uses google accounts, and both use google safe browsing lists, browsers have always made the decision to hardcode various external service providers.
