The anycasted IPs for DNS servers make sense to me and the BGP withdrawal too when the common cases are perhaps one or a few PoPs lost connectivity to the backbone/DC rarely every one of them fails at the time.

I was hoping perhaps the DNS servers at PoPs can be improved by responding with public IPs for other PoPs/DCs and only when that is not available start the BGP withdrawal. Or I can presume the available DNSs at PoPs decrease over time and the remaining ones getting more and more requests until finally every one of them is cut off from the internet.
