Moz's decision isn't based on the costumer base, it's based on "what does you being a root CA provide?". Their email service was listed as the primary reason they should be a root CA (regardless of other eventual costumers) and if the email service isn't sound then their primary reason is moot.

That’s fair and I do agree with that line of reasoning. You don’t need a CA to run a mail service anymore. Perhaps we should audit all of the CA value statements and weed out dated entities…
