Not sure if they edited anything. Your quote is from the blog post[1] but the aforementioned quote by tialaramex is from the 1.1.1.1 site itself[2].

A DNS resolver does need to record the querying IP for at least a few moments because, you know, they have to respond to your query.
However, I don't know why they changed that sentence; it could be for other reasons too.

Seems like they're just trying to be clear.
It's not uncommon to retain logs like that for debugging purposes, abuse prevention purposes, etc, but then to go back later and wipe them or anonymize them.
"We committed to never writing the querying IP addresses to disk and wiping all logs within 24 hours."
"While we need some logging to prevent abuse and debug issues, we couldn't imagine any situation where we'd need that information longer than 24 hours. And we wanted to put our money where our mouth was, so we committed to retaining KPMG, the well-respected auditing firm, to audit our code and practices annually and publish a public report confirming we're doing what we said we would."
