Not to mention the multitude of automated tools that exist out in the world 
that know how to, say, point a domain A/CNAME/etc at Wordpress.com or Heroku or 
what have you. Being able to support transparent upgrades for all those people 
is a pretty big deal. Combine with stuff like end-point automation (the stuff I 
posted about a while ago) like the possibility of having Apache or Nginx at 
some point the future with a directly integrated ACME client so they just turn 
on HTTPS without you even knowing how. Tools in these situations act on the 
behalf of admins which may or may not grok DNS but they certainly don't have 
write access to it.
