That ought to be illegal.
(No, seriously: disobeying DNS the owner set by DHCP ought to count as “exceeding authorized access” under the CFAA.)

RFC 2132 says DHCP option 6 provides “a list of Domain Name System name servers available to the client”. That’s a MAY use, not a MUST use. You are welcome to block DNS requests to outside servers if you prefer.

Unfortunately the monkey’s paw would curl here and using DNS other than that provided by your ISP would become illegal. (I know there’s a difference between your devices using their network to access the internet and your “purchased” (licensed software running on) your device using your network to access the internet - but the monkey doesn’t care)

Counter point on that, that might affect the legality of DNS over HTTPS
