From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I doubt it. Today there is a huge trend towards censorship in the world. And ECH is exactly what a censor would not want. It is already blocked in Russia after Cloudflare enabled it by default and I would expect it to be blocked in the west "for anti-piracy reasons" very soon.
ECH is intended for privacy, not for circumventing censorship.
If the next TLS version enforces ECH, plaintext SNI will die out at some point on its own.
Intensions do not metter in this case. It can be used for that and that's enough. If you block any connections that use ECH (by blocking cloudflare-ech for example) users will have no choice but to fallback to unencrypted CH.
