> To protect yourself from an upstream resolver using DNSSEC, you need to be doing something akin to a full recursive lookup yourself. This is a flaw in the DNSSEC design and a reason why DoH took off instead.

What? I don't see how you can call that a flaw in DNSSEC when DoH is no better in this regard; it doesn't even attempt to protect against a malicious recursive resolver. The only way to do that is to validate DNSSEC on the client.

DNSSEC and DoH provide different security services. But to get the benefit of DNSSEC, you need to resolve recursively. DoH works for stub resolvers. That's all I'm saying.
