Your complaint is about a Web Extension Experiment that they're currently testing and not a feature they have shipped in the browser. It seems like this isn't shady at all, but rather they're testing something and soliciting feedback. You provided some and they responded that they plan to write a blog post about it.

So what's shady here? That the process is working?

My understanding is that this is how it's being rolled out, eventually to 100% of users:

I still don't think its shady. Mozilla have publicly stated that its possible to change the DOH provider, and furthermore they have clearly laid out their requirements for Cloudflare to participate in this experiment. This seems like a good compromise in order to force other providers to start encrypting dns requests.
