Upgrading the user to https is only one use case for the HTTPS resource 
record. In fact it is not the required behaviour as all of my HTTPS RR 
testing so far has been with http as I didn’t want to get certificates 
for the 10+ domains with different behaviour I created.  Works fine with 
the current clients (iOS 14/MacOS 11). It also solves the CNAME at the 
APEX problem and allows more options for transport before the initial 
setup of the connection.

I also think that any list hardcoded in browser/OS deployments is a bad 
idea for a long term solution (that include auto upgrades of DoH servers 
;-) and it looks like STS has already shown that. DNS being an 
distributed mechanism is far better suited as it does not require an 
update of the end device.

Just my .02 cents as a DNS guy ;-).

So long
