Hardware is not a real problem. A Raspberry Pi is more than enough to
run a resolver for a typical home.

That's certainly a more important issue. Even when someone has skills,
he or she may not have the time and inclination to do system
administration at home. The solution is proper packaging of this
DNS function in ready-made boxes such as the Turris Omnia

and yet do not trust the ones provided by their ISPs.

Unfortunately, the users are often right here :-(
