I don't know why there isn't a parsed version of the reply included in the JSON, but perhaps the idea is that the literal details are of interest to some researchers. One example that I happened to notice in trying to answer your question: in parsing a sample DNS measurement this way, I notice the use of DNS case randomization (also called "0x20 randomization") in some replies but not in others. Having the literal DNS query reply could help with analyzing the prevalence of this mechanism, whereas it might be obscured by a parser that was written by someone who believed that DNS replies are not case insensitive (which is true from one point of view, but not from another point of view!).
For people interested in DNS case (in)sensitivity, have a look at https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc4343 -- Petr Špaček -- ripe-atlas mailing list ripe-atlas@ripe.net https://lists.ripe.net/mailman/listinfo/ripe-atlas
