We can discuss (and it has been discussed) ad nauseam, but the point is that 
nobody (certainly I am not) is asking for crippling DoH, but I just strongly 
believe it’s in the line with other Debian work that we should not send data to 
3rd party DNS service without explicit user consent.

Otherwise it doesn’t make any sense to remove external links to logos and 
JavaScript from the documentation and then send everything to one single 
US-based provider.
