The government wrote a white paper about this because they proposed yet more blocking (for the whole anti-pornography thing where they want you to go buy a "pass" to look at porn) back in 2018.
The ISPs are not inclined to pay for DPI or whatever other nonsense, even if they believe it could be effective, which it probably can't be. Government does not want to take on a major budgetary extra to pay for something that's already unpopular. So that leaves it not getting done. Much hand-wringing.
The government already acknowledges that Tor completely defeats all existing attempts to censor the Network, but they supposed that DNS blocking is affordable and good enough. So, we make it no longer "good enough" and then too bad for their stupid policy.
