> The backlash against DoH is that the implementations switch your DNS server without asking to a centralized one which is presumably data mining the queries, default ignoring the one you configured in your operating system or DHCP server.

With, say, a proxy app on MacOS, I don't see how they could do this without consent?

It's not that there is no way to turn it off, it's that you have to take affirmative steps to turn it off, so now people are having their queries sent to a central server by default and you have to go out of your way to stop it. And then most people don't even know that it's happening, much less what to do about it.
