I would disagree. A lot of apps bind against a user's entry as a form of
authentication for the user. The app then does a member: lookup against a
group for authorization.

Do you not find this to be the case?

No, not at all... All of our apps bind as their own identity, and then do a lookup on the users privileges to see what they are authorized to do. We don't allow authentication to the directory server (that's why we have a Kerberos KDC).
