Then just put 127.0.0.1 in /etc/resolv.conf. nsswitch, particularly for hostname resolution, is fundamentally broken as it doesn't work well with asynchronous software architecture; nor does it work well in languages that don't depend on libc.
Systemd already supports being a local resolver, but see OpenBSD's unwind (https://man.openbsd.org/unwind) for an attempt to seamlessly handle DNSSEC, DoT (and eventually DoH), local Wi-Fi portals, and other issues.
