Having played Devil's advocate with my question a bit, Stephane's and
Nils' assessments strongly cover my suspicion by a full 100%.

I still wonder when the compulsory use of this DNS resolution service
will consequently start for EU citizens eventually...

We can be reasonably sure it will not. If it is actually used, we can
expect IP (not Internet Protocol) lawyers asking for a censorship of
sci-hub.se and politicians asking for censorship of [current political
issue in their country].

Certainly not, as illustrated with Quad9 vs Sony Music [1]. While they
are not EU, but Switzerland-based, this is afaik the closest
operational approximation to what DNS4EU goals are.
