It has the advantage of preventing a race to the bottom. Note that there is a fair amount of choice available at lower levels in the DNS. So long as the registry provides a secure infrastructure, customers of secure registrars need not be concerned that insecure registrars can steal their names. There is no similar regulation of CAs.
