That is the lamest justification I have seen in a long time. 
Translation: We use crap API to lookup A records that does not give us TTL values, which we want to use. 
Asking for ANY on the other hand gives us TTL 

#1 it is not hard to write a better DNS API, if all you care about is DNS addresses 
#2 there is bunch of better DNS API’s out there like ldns, and libunbound
