The biggest complaint I have regarding DoH is that it's extremely painful to configure because every application does it individually.

If I could configure DoH at the system level, as I do normal DNS, I'd be perfectly happy. As it stands, DoH could trivially be co-opted by browser vendors to ignore system DNS settings, and even if it isn't, it still makes DNS configuration a worse experience.

This seems a lot more like a complaint about your libc than about DoH. But the response to that complaint would likely be "give it time".
You can do this on Android Pie and newer, but the overall rollout on other systems might be held up due to the potential issues with enterprises not being happy that their DNS systems are no longer working (and that this is probably far from having priority P0).
