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.

What about the zone not having a single point of failure?  Both

Am I correct to understand that 1.1.1.1 only does support via community forum?

They had just enough interest in the service to collect user data to 
monetise, but 0 interest in trying to figure out how to detect and 
solve problems?

Why not build a web form where they ask you to explain what is not 
working, in terms of automatically testable. Like no A record for X.
Then after you submit this form, they test against all 1.1.1.1 and 
some 9.9.9.9 and 8.8.8.8 and if they find a difference in behaviour, 
the ticket is accepted and sent to someone who understands DNS? If 
there is no difference in behaviour, direct people to community 
forums.
This trivial, cheap and fast to produce support channel would ensure 
virtually 0 trash support cases, so you wouldn't even have to hire 
people to support your data collection enterprise.

The number of times that 8.8.8.8 “works” but there is an actual error 
is enormous.  8.8.8.8 tolerates lots of protocol errors which ends up 
causing support cases for others where the result is “the servers are 
broken in this way”.  You then try to report the issue but the report 
is ignored because “It works with 8.8.8.8”.

Very obviously they selfishly had no interest in ensuring 1.1.1.1 
actually works, as long as they are getting the data. I do not know 
how to characterise this as anything but unethical.

If you can't due to resources or competence support DNS, do not offer one.
