They don't block it – they redirect it to their DNS proxy.

Redirecting port 53 to their DNS (presumably one close to their LTE

The reason these providers block UDP altogether is simple – P2P file
sharing and similar shenanigans.

Is that complete block in the terms+conditions? If not, annoy their support.
