I use /etc/hosts daily to access computers with only an IP address and no DNS entry, or to override them for testing.

I don't want to have to self host a DoH server when it's so easy to edit a test file.

Furthermore, until every ISP has its own DoH server we are centralizing control of the basic internet infrastructure even more than now.
