Well, DoH has a couple of very special features:

- it affects name resolution, which is the initial step for almost everything you do over the Internet;

- apparently, it will be deployed by default to the entire mankind or so.

It is quite different than some smart users or some specific applications using HTTPS (or VPNs) to bypass the local network operator and/or the local jurisdiction. In technical terms it might not be different, but in business, policy and political terms this makes all the difference.
