That's because there's no need for change. DNS works pretty well. There are various options to secure DNS, so that part of the DoH is also moot.

Browsers should respect the OS instead of trying to circumvent it.

Lastly, DNS is properly decentralized out of the box. I don't get that some people who argue for a decentralized internet also argue for DoH.

Similar to how email works and has various options to secure it but the reality is no end users were benefiting from it. How many OSs have enabled by default encrypted DNS? Browsers should primarily focus on providing the most secure and private browsing experience.

DNS is also not decentralized. It's centralised on ICANN and whatever company owns your TLD which is why this thread is here.
