I think a very important point to make is that the existence of the DoH RFC
does not affect these sort of usecases at all. If an ad site wanted to load
ads without being constrained by DNS it could always hardcode IP addresses,
or use their own homegrown variety of DNS over HTTP(S) with the server of
their choice. The same is true for IoT devices. And even for browsers. If
Google wanted to perform all DNS resolutions using "frankenDNS over gQUIC",
there's hardly a way you can stop them.

Where having a DoH RFC is immensely helpful is that you now have lots
compatible server and client implementations. If you want to increase your
privacy in a coffee shop, just point your stub resolver to a DoH server -
be it Cloudflare, Google, or your own pi-hole that you have at home.
And when browsers implement DoH, it's easier to have a choice of DoH
servers, because implementations follow the same RFC.
