nginx ingress controller question about use of informers

[ayma]

Looking at the nginx ingress controller code had a question about the
design.  See that there is a function, getPodsForIngressBackend, (
https://github.com/nginxinc/kubernetes-ingress/blob/master/internal/k8s/controller.go#L15860
).  It looks like in this function a call is made to kube api to grab all
the backend pods for a service.  I was wondering why not use the cached
information from the informer?
