Hold up. You are claiming that the fact that DoH prevents DNS requests from being visible in cleartext network traffic is a bad thing?

...what? In a world where the choice is between one party (the DNS provider) having access to my DNS requests and everyone on the network including my DNS provider having access to my DNS requests, I'll choose "DNS provider having exclusive access" every single time.

It is when its my network. If they cared about people sniffing they would use DNSSEC, but still use the network DNS server. DNS over HTTPS is just a way for shady companies to hide what they're doing.

DNSSEC provides authenticity, not confidentiality.

Uh, DNSSEC is only signatures, it has no encryption.
