Just a note that Rule 1 in the sidebar says “if your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive”, so changing it is ok as long as it improves the information as the OP suggested. We’re luckily not constrained by the terrible titles chosen by news sites to boost clicks.
I assume as the volume of links grow, the amount of work mods would have to do in vetting editorialized headlines grow as well as some people would like to inject in their own bias. You’d see this obnoxious editorialization from time to time in .ml in the past on articles concerning USA, for example.
I’d just add the relevant info in angle brackets after the original headline, personally.

They’re still running on Reddit rules
Which were terrible. My favorite was when a source capitalized the title, so anything you did would violate a rule and get it removed.
