Advertising companies are pushing DoH to remove control from you and give them the control, so be aware of that
> I would emphasize scripting in the shell like bash scripts
What would they want to script? What will they achieve? Why would they be interested in this?

True. My first naive attempt at content filtering for my kids was to use a family friendly DNS for the whole network. That's when I learned about chrome's secure DNS option, witch effectively bypasses my intended settings. I guess endpoint control is the only effective option. A mandatory http proxy could be used to filter by hostname too. None of them easy, and I'm supposed to be an expert. Normal people has little chance of implementing technical parental controls.

That's where you, the parent, are required to spend with the child to help them answer those same questions. The way to answer it is what problems do you have that you wish were solved... then show the kid that.
Problems I want to solve then get my kids to solve them? Sure they can do some
Because they will have no problems a computer can solve with bash scripts
I take it you don't write original software for a living or a hobby. For people who do write their own software they go through this multiple times every day. Knowing what to teach their kids or how to get started isn't a mystery.

I think the benefits of DoH (& ECH) outweigh the negatives, especially when it comes to censorship resistance.
