I don't think you understand how DNS works.
I don't think you're in a position to comment on what I do or don't know about DNS.
Encrypted dns is still a myth to most users. Major resolvers do not support it since it directly conflicts with with their data collection business.
Except those users using Firefox or Chrome, which come with DNS over HTTPS (DoH) preconfigured. Or those who've been running DoT on their home networks, which I setup quite a while ago now.
From the Wikipedia article on DoH, emphasis mine:
"A goal of the method is to increase user privacy and security by preventing eavesdropping and manipulation of DNS data by man-in-the-middle attacks[1] by using the HTTPS protocol to encrypt the data between the DoH client and the DoH-based DNS resolver.
DNS over TLS (DoT) RFC:
"This document describes the use of Transport Layer Security (TLS) to provide privacy for DNS. Encryption provided by TLS eliminates opportunities for eavesdropping and on-path tampering with DNS queries in the network, such as discussed in RFC 7626."
The lack of DNS encryption isn't what Apple and Cloudflare are addressing; it's that whoever runs the DNS resolver can still see the websites you're visiting and ODoH fixes that.
