But my thought on this is as well: Once their domain name servers are configured according to law, can they force us to not use other domain name services?

Theoretically an ISP can block all outgoing queries to the DNS port 53 except to whitelisted servers, but now DNS over HTTPS exists, haven’t looked into how blockable that one is.

At this point you can copy Chinas great firewall I guess.

They probably can just block IPs of foreign DNS but I suspect there's ways of mirroring around that.

There is DoT, DoH and oblivious dns techniques. The problem is - users will have to configure those and aint nobody got time for that.

In Firefox its just a flip of a button. Private DNS.

I think it uses Cloudflare by default when activated, but there are also others like quad9 9.9.9.9

By default you choose between Cloudflare and NextDNS.
