Dear Satish,

DoH is attractive to some organisations because it is the missing piece
of the puzzle that algorithms could use to learn more about you. Yes, it
is a niche technology, but today the "owners" of the metadata of all of
the addresses that you go to, derived from DNS queries, is actually
distributed. The Root operators know what TLDs you use most. An ISP that
runs the local resolver knows what addresses you access. In fact, anyone
can scan and eavesdrop on your DNS queries to derive meta-information
about your browsing habits. DoH closes the door to this third party
meta-information gathering, to bring it to a closed group of players
that already have cookies, IP addresses, your log-in account, email, and
any other services which you use on the cloud with the meta-data of all
of your DNS enquiries. It is one more piece of the puzzle towards
tracking you.
In the future it would also be possible to, by the flick of a switch,
switch off the DNS queries and keep solely to the DoH queries based on a
snapshot of the Internet's addresses.
The difference between this and other systems is that alternative roots
required an intervention from the user to switch to an alternative root,
which was a less stable system than the DNS's 13 roots. Plus,
alternative DNSes did not have that essential element of providing so
much data for a single entity thus there was no commercial drive to go
that way. DoH has all the elements for a perfect storm, from industry
consolidation to generation of more meta-data in-house, value creation
through better tracking and big players already really interested in
implementing it. That's the threat and that's why it is important.
Kindest regards,

Olivier
