In addition to the lack of encryption mentioned, some ISPs transparently intercept DNS requests and reply to them with their own.

Test your own ISP: try something like

nslookup news.ycombinator.com 1.2.3.4

If you get a response, your ISP is gaslighting you.

Some ISPs even tried to replace NXDOMAIN replies with their own "services". That was particularly popular in the last decade, though I haven't seen any recently.
