Regardless, even if they renew the certification, they aren't obliged to expose in the classical POSIX APIs more than what the certification requires in features, or happens to be optional, implementation defined.

As anyone that has painfully tried to write POSIX portable code across big iron UNIX is aware of.

getaddrinfo() is part of POSIX, so it would be necessary to expose it:
