As a general principle, we could certainly agree that the flow of DNS requests provides lots of sensitive information about the usage of the device, including means of identifying the user. So yes, the choice of a specific resolver has important consequences on the user's privacy. As much as possible, the user should be informed of the consequences and able to choose.

But then, the choice of staying with the default network configuration also has consequences. And it has different consequences on different networks. So ideally the user should be informed of these consequences too and given a choice.
