> already I have a choice of a couple of DNS-over-HTTPS providers in my preferences
Can you please cite that "couple" and also how you believe a typical user would ever change the default?

As for users changing this, sure, that’s not going to happen. But I can imagine a world where the default is that your requests are fanned out randomly to a choice of hundreds or thousands of providers, with no clear and complete picture of a single user in the event that a single provider is compromised.
Some readers probably aren’t aware of the fact that even with DNS over TLS to Cloudflare the DSL provider can still collect exact info of which sites one visits. The name of the site is visible in the clear in the TLS communication with the site, independently of DNS.
Firefox nightly (not sure with other version) propose already NextDNS as an alternative in pref. and an easy way to add a custom one. I can see for example big companies requiring their employees to use a custom one.
