You know very well that that is another fucking lie from lying shyster Matthew Prince.The purpose is to protect their users' privacy. The alternative would be to send the IP of the PoP in the EDNS field, but that would violate the specification.
There is no 'protection of privacy', and if you can't understand that, you should shut your mouth.
If the Russian autist cucked to Shitflare, the 'privacy' that a user would gain is that he wouldn't know the general location of a person going to his site, who wants to go to his site, for however long a gap there is between the user's initial DNS request, and the initiation of the connection over HTTP or HTTPS to his site. If they're on satellite internet or 14.4k dialup, they might get as much of a second of blessed, blessed PRIVACY. After which point the Russian gets the full IP, not just the subnet.
This is just worthless cunt Matthew Prince systematically attacking anyone who doesn't kow tow to his monopoly.
