That doesn't. But DHCP already hands out DNS servers. You are already
trusting the DHCP server to give you default gateway and DNS server (or
you are choosing not to use DHCP).

Take the use case of coffee house or wireless hotspot. I think that it
would be an improvement of privacy to not allow anyone there to sniff
DNS packets because the owner of the network uses DOH for their
recursive resolver. I'm already trusting the network for default gateway
and most users would trust the DNS servers handed via DHCP. So no huge
new leap of trust and improved privacy. Seems like a win.

Why not allow network operators that option via a new DHCP option? You
don't have to use it but it would be a good choice for some.
