If it’s such a reasonable default, why don’t any of the public resolvers (e.g. 1.1.1.1, 8.8.8.8, 9.9.9.9, etc.) do so?

Oh my, you walked right into that one.

I'm also surprised nobody seems familiar with Vixie's Response Policy Zones, a widely supported way to put DNS filtering rules into your own DNS cache.
