This is the dark side of DNS-over-HTTPs: it prevents the network operator from changing what is received by browsers. Sometimes this is legitimate, as in Pi-hole.

Paul Vixie got very upset when he discovered that his chromecast bypasses local DNS settings to go directly to Google: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19170671

I wouldn't be surprised if soon Chrome defaults to DNS-over-HTTPs direct to base, except for the corporate intranet version. They just need to work out how to deal with wifi captive portals.
