EDNS client subnet exists since there are large public DNS servers. Google did implement it very early on 8.8.8.8 (DNS operators had to request them to enable it when querying their authoritative servers) because it is needed to correctly operate a CDN.

I know why it exists, and it's nice to have, but what I'm saying is there's no reason a site should completely fail to load without it. The worst case should be you just get routed to a more distant cache, and the site is slower. The same as what used to happen before edns-client-subnet existed.
