I can see how for some people, it might make sense to pay the higher prices if they also get value from their email services and/or DNS hosting.
I run my own nameserver on my VPS so I chose Gandi because they provide free secondary nameservers – but then discovered that their secondary nameservers don’t support NOTIFY (or IXFR). Instead they make an AXFR transfer on a fixed schedule – that’s too slow for Let’s Encrypt DNS authentication.
So far, I’ve stayed with them because I don’t have many domains registered and I appreciate their commitment to security of user accounts: the ability to lock domains, and MFA support. These are now standard but I also have my account to set up to only allow logins from various IP network ranges.
