I have been told that DoH is set into place to solve the privacy
problem. On a small DNS workgroup meeting I saw a presentation on how
they statistically identify users by their DNS traffic, and could create
a profile with interests and affectations these users have. I think DNS
is not that anonymous one would expect.

DoH seems just an easy to grab solution, but may leading just out from the
frying pan into the fire ...
