They still likely get your DNS info, and also they know you are connected to x ip address which is likely y service.

All HTTPS does is make sure they can’t see what you are transferring. There is still meta data to whom.

Why do you think google runs 8.8.8.8? It’s not out of kindness.

Do I care that can see metadata? If they don’t know what was transferred, how is that useful to them? Data-mining?
