They are rightly saying that DoH will secure requests from tampering --- but when it's the owner who's doing the tampering, it becomes yet another anti-user security feature.

Personally, I'm less concerned about privacy of DNS queries than the loss of control and need to have another centralised third-party in the process.

It was a bad security feature anyway, easy to bypass

On Firefox it is configurable or even disablable trivially. Much ado about nothing.

That doesn't mean the other apps which use DOH will also be trivially configurable to disable it.
