In Application usage report, DNS over HTTPS is classified as High Risk. Why? I would think HTTPS is always preferable. Is it because it imposes limitations on what the firewall can see and control?

Hello tscott_16 ,
Thank you for reaching out to the community, because In DNS over HTTPS, the encrypted DNS traffic is not completely invisible to the network admins, which could be an issue. Whereas, in DNS over TLS, the network administrators cannot even see the encrypted DNS traffic.

After the last round of browser updates for Chrome, Safari and Firefox, it seems they no longer fall back to regular DNS as stated in the article "Blocking DoH will generally cause browsers to fall back to use the regular system DNS". I have sites now that just fail with this policy turned on.
