Why would anyone want to use a DNS resolver that tampered with records on a large scale? The TTL is intentionally set by the originator of the record.
Or alternatively, if you don't tamper why would I want to use a service that serves stale data?
Every distributed system serves stale data.
You can define away ‘stale’ by picking a consistency model, but look inside the consistency machinery and you will see fresher data you aren’t allowed to have yet.
That's like refusing to use a fridge, insisting on letting your produce gradually spoil on the counter because "all harvested produce is in a state of decay anyway".
