Actually, they do not. They only think that if someone should do it, 
(s)he should do it correctly and (they think) it's better to have the 
feature in BIND insteat of letting violators to implement it (and 
usually break it) themselves.

I (and many other people) have disagreed with this point in bind-users 
mailing list.

That's one of reason why I think it's bad feature to have in BIND.
