In an organisation - sure. But sometimes countries act like a giant man-in-the-middle redirecting/blocking forbidden sites e.g. Russia. Most popular DNS servers like 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8 are forced to comply.

That's what DoT is for, not DoH.

(Looking at you, Great Firewall.)

Neither will work by themselves as far as censorship goes because it's not just DNS, but either can solve some minor geofencing annoyances like Qt blocking access to https://download.qt.io or Spotify pointing their podcast CDN to 127.0.0.1 when using major DNS providers.
Yea, geofencing on IP or by AS are often done.

Least you can get the DNS resolver working.
