This further drives centralization of the Internet and the idea that the Internet == Web == Browser.

It's disappointing to see this coming from someone so steeped in Internet contributions and history and believing it to be a good idea.

Bypassing system DNS is not just an enterprise no-go, it probably will end up reducing privacy.

The idea that ISPs sniff DNS is largely a red-herring, and further it's already easily addressed by DNSCrypt or DNS over (d)TLS.

My ISP in Australia already censors various domain names due to copyright lawsuits. ISPs tampering with DNS is not a red herring, but a real issue.

Furthermore, ISPs in some countries like India forces all port 53 traffic to their own censored servers. DNS over TLS won’t solve that.

People also don't realize that their ISP literally sells their DNS traffic. There is a strong market for it, it's not theoretical.

Not really. There's not anything close to what I'd call a strong market for it.
