I think systemd is okay offering this feature, but NOT ok picking the fallback.

They should just have some standard way for a distro to specify the fallback servers, or no fallback.

The the various distros could populate that user-driven, conscious decision somewhere that systemd-resolved can pick it up.

Distros can change or remove the default fallback servers at compile time if they want to. This is exactly what happened here, Fedora disabled the default fallback DNS servers.

They can, but they shouldn't have to. Leaking data should be a conscious decision, by default.
