Nothing good ever came from Godaddy and nothing good ever will come from Godaddy.
This "feature" didn't do anything to prevent the theft of css-tricks.com[1] and other domains, because why should someone who wants to steal a domain first change the contact information. Two-factor authentication would provide real protection, but that is $25/year at Godaddy.[2] It's like mobile phone carriers: They have the technical means to block stolen phones from ever accessing the network again, but why would they do that, since every stolen phone equals a new sale?
