Companies very very often point their root domain at a hosting company for their marketing site; let's use Netlify as an example.
This does NOT mean that I would expect Netlify to be able to issue wildcard certs for my domain.
Basic "www-izer" (redirection) services are another example where the root domain is pointed somewhere that should not be able to issue wildcard certs.
