No, what I'm saying is that if
example.com owns an A record 203.0.113.48, and
www.example.com owns an A record 203.0.113.48, then
where does 48.113.0.203.in-addr.arpa point?
Some people will point it at example.com, some will point it at
www.example.com. What you get is a mish-mosh. No consistency.
If, on the other hand, www.example.com is a CNAME to example.com, then
it's crystal clear where the reverse record will point -- example.com.
There is no ambiguity or option for inconsistency.

Hey Kevin,
This is not an issue at all.
A PTR is different then a "A" record and can be used by two reverse
domain names and only the owner of the IP addresses space can define
them.
I am not sure if two PTR records for two domains will be applied to
one IP but it is possible for two IP addresses to have the same PTR.
Can we even use a CNAME as a PTR???

Also, have you considered the forward/reverse ambiguity that arises when
multiple owner names resolve to the same address? To which of those
names does the PTR point?
