I think what you are discussing is the move to only supporting declarative block lists. Long ago in Safari, and until very recently in Chrome, you could have JavaScript run to check and modify/block requests. The modern block lists still function the same (preventing a Request from ever being sent) just without dynamic code in the loop.

There is some fundamental misunderstanding here because content blockers can block requests by url.

Not OP but I don’t think DoQ is very interesting. DoH is nice because it blends in with HTTPS. Both do the protocol level things to avoid connection handshakes. The HTTP overhead isn’t that much really.
DoT is more complex than you’d imagine because it has to try hard to implement its own solutions to avoid handshakes.

Depends on how much they care. They can take down repos containing any keys, or use heuristics to block clients.

The chain of trust always has a software layer. I don’t believe what you want is possible.
I find the bank talking point strange, why are they special, are they even targeted more. It just feels like a boogeyman “think of your money!”

Those issues are typically from the decoding libraries you choose. Which could even be ffmpeg if you wish. GStreamer just provides a nice high level API.
