I don't think that is necessarily the error that you think it is.

The text (to my eye) does not suggest that HTTP and TCP are equivalent, but rather that they are both transport protocols of DNS, which I think is a reasonable assertion. In the derivative cases of DoH and DoT, both are wrapped with TLS. I do not share your interpretation that there is an inference that HTTP and TCP are somehow equivalent.

I have not fully digested the paper and all of its observations, but that (above) to my mind is not a reason to stop reading.
