im not really registering domains that i necessarily /know/ how i plan to use them yet, but more as vanity names i like and may want to use in the future--basically i tend to register the domain and then use it for some side project sometime after, since that lets me frontload some of the DNS configuration in advance. im using Cloudflare for the DNS part already for sure, so it's convenient to have both that and the registrar in one place.
totally get that something that enables my silly personal domain purchases more smoothly could be abused by squatters and that their use patterns could create unwanted support/engineering load you wouldn't want to deal with though, i think that's reasonable. the one thing i'd wish for is maybe being able to transfer a domain i've recently purchased elsewhere more quickly--as-is i think there's a waiting period before you can move a domain onto the Cloudflare registrar
