Because then the DNS client has exposed its network layer identity to the
ODNS server. By sending an encrypted query to the ODNS server, via the
recursive server, the client has allowed the ODNS server to resolve the
name on its behalf without the ODNS server knowing which end system this
name resolution is being performed for.

The ODNS server can still easily collude with recursive server operators to
unmask the clients though, so I'm not sure how much privacy we've really
gained. At some point, it may be reasonable to ask why aren't clients
funneling their queries through a real anonymity network instead, like Tor,
or better.
