DoH to Cloudflare by default is only happening to US users. Their current DNS options via their ISP are also subject to the US government.

Not quite (as I understand things): it is for people with an "en_US" local.
If someone in the UK (or NZ, AU, CA) downloaded that particular language installer, then non-US residences can be hit by this.

There's also no trust with ISPs. They've already all lobbied at the Congressional level to legally sell our data. The NSA already captures/stores everything that comes out of any of their datacenters. So whose DNS do we use? A shitty company's, or another shitty company's?

And succeeded! And even as they did it and succeeded, claimed that they didn't want or need that ability and /totally/ wouldn't take advantage of it if/when it did pass.

Yes, for you Americans.
Please, go fix your politicians, rather than inflicting technical "solutions" to political problems on the rest of the world.
it's also a business. As soon as they find it advantageous to start selling that information, they will, and will ride on their reputation for privacy to make as much as possible from that information
Practically, no trust.
