Importance of encrypted DNS? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Sorry if this is a dumb question, but how important is using one of the encrypted DNS services from the megathread? I've just been using Google's DNS servers directly on my router, and have yet to have any issues. Have I just been lucky?

Also, 🫡 to dbzer0 for migrating the community to Lemmy!

I think we're at a misunderstanding. If a business owns a road, and a different business owns a shipping company that uses the road. If I want to ship something, I can choose which shipping company to use, and I cannot choose which roads they use. So given my options, wouldn't I want to choose the best shipping company for my needs?

In this analogy, I don't trust Cloudflare shipping company. Especially with how often they are used for SSL termination. This community specifically, places a massive importance on verifying and checking VPN providers, why not be equally as stringent with DNS providers?
