The internet is decentralized and "coordinated embrace" is not realistic or practical. See also: IPv6.

Pretty much the whole of the internet has been jammed into tcp/443 now, and it can't much be helped. Internet engineering needs to cope with the world as it is, not how we wish it were.

I disagree, see the success of: letsencrypt, the wide spread use of 8.8.8.8 and 1.1.1.1; dkim/spf/dmarc; imaps, pop3s, tls ldap.

Why should a switch over to DoT be any different? If anything it should be easier. The general need for better security and privacy are much more widely understood and accepted concerns these days.
