Why would they need it, its free, they are not being paid to be your DNS servers.  Assuming the provider is 1.1.1.1 itself.   YOUR ISP SHOULD NOT USE 1.1.1.1 or 8.8.8.8, you should run your OWN DNS servers.  

If its not within your circle of influence, don’t' risk your business on it!

If you wish to consult people on how to configure DNS, please reach out to the responsible folk.

I am discussing a specific recursor in anycasted setup not resolving domain and provider offering no remediation channel.

These are two entirely different classes of problem and collapsing them into a single problem is not going to help in either case.
