I tend to think this is the real issue.  Any app can craft its own
non-cleartext-DNS name resolution service; DoH makes it a bit easier
perhaps, but not much (vis. JSON DNS, etc...).

My suspicion is that controlling a network's DNS is less and less likely to
be a decent control point for network security w.r.t. to the craftier
apps.  I'm sure the monitoring and interference with things looking up
"really-evil.evil" still has some value.  But much more sophistication is
probably required nowadays to deal with even moderately competent
adversaries...I suspect.
