Can you elaborate on why you'd want to opt-out of DNS over HTTPS? I was under the impression that it was useful and good for privacy, but I may be misinformed.

It breaks DNS based blocking if you have it setup. Some people setup ad-blocking so that it encompasses their entire network and the way this works is that it silently drops DNS requests to ad domains on the edge of your local network.
I have a local DNS server to access servers and other resources on my network. DNS over HTTPS breaks this.
It doesn't actually break this but it does leak all of your local DNS queries to Cloudflare.
