I think it's also worth asking whether the devices that care about DNSSEC or DOH are the devices that don't do local synthesis. E.g. I'm pretty sure Apple devices will do local synthesis. I get the sense that Google devices will as well. Not sure about Windows, maybe Jen Linkova knows? Also not sure about Linux, probably varies. Of course, if e.g. your browser is doing DoH, it may not bother with DNSSEC anyway, even if your local resolver does do DNSSEC. But it had better do local synthesis, or it's not going to work in a v6only NAT64 environment regardless of whether or not DNS64 is present.

But my point is, your printer that's downloading firmware probably isn't doing DNSSEC validation, although it should, and it's probably not using DoH to bypass the local resolver either.
