It is recursive indeed and we currently deduce all pointees to generic AS.

Because we currently only infer pointers and references in TreeTransforms. Everything else is inferred earlier. That is mainly because we need some context info to infer in most of other cases and therefore it's not easy to do in TreeTransforms. There is some more information on this review: https://reviews.llvm.org/D64400 where the inference for pointers and references was added originally to TreeTransforms.
