How is that taking control away from a local sysadmin? It'd be a great thing if they did that, since then malicious network administrators won't be able to disable DoH on computers that aren't theirs anymore. If you're really trying to control devices that are yours, you'll still be able to turn it off via local Firefox policy.

There's a spectrum of options between "total lockdown of machines" and "nothing is controlled". Also, at least the way the announcement read at the time... it felt like someone forgot that there might be a need by local admin to disable it, in fact.
