Your ISP is literally selling this information right now in the US. What are you even talking about? Use google if you don't like CF, or just disable it!

Do a little threat modeling here please. Let's say CF sells this data, what do they know about you other than your IP and the sites you visit? While your ISP,employer,school,etc... Can tie that activity to you as a person. Being compelled legally? I did not know privacy meant breaking laws, suddenly law enforcement can't do the same thing with your ISP dns?

This is not adding a new party that can surveil you, this is reducing risk by separating who can see your DNS from who can see your traffic. The idea is to have eSNI ubiquity to where TLS traffic will conceal the sites you visit while DoH will conceal the traffic metadata. Oh, and beauty of DoH: you can run it through a web proxy, and if you have alot of users behind a NAT it becomes very hard to pin point which actual machine generated the DNS lookup.
