I'm not sure I even I understand what recursive means when done from a client,
but let's first focus on why. Please help me understand. What functionality
does that offer for transfers that you don't have today?

That patch's purpose was primarily to enable DNSSEC and DANE/TLSA for libcurl,
but yes, it didn't get enough interest and energy from the team or the
original developer (Björn) so it rotted pretty fast.
DNSSEC and DANE/TLSA are still often mentioned as desired features for libcurl
so I think that's still an area we could explore further if someone wants to
dig in! I don't know if Björn might even still have some interest (I CC'ed him
here).
