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

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.
