Hi, can you explain why/what the benefits are for that? I've read a little about DNS over HTTPs but I guess just don't get it .

DNS over HTTPS encrypts your DNS queries, which means at most your ISP can see what sites you visit and not what you're doing on those sites.

Depending on the infrastructure used by the site, your ISP might also not even know what site you're visiting.
