Hi Stephane,

Both of those assumptions are false when the user has installed a
recursive resolver on their home computer, as is the case when the user
has installed DNSSEC-Trigger.  They're also false when the user has
installed Namecoin, since Namecoin domain names often delegate to DNS
via NS+DS records.

(Of course, it could be argued that Namecoin users need to deal with
network censorship of Namecoin protocol traffic anyway, but I don't see
any reason to make the situation unnecessarily worse by avoiding DoH.)

Cheers,
