I'm not sure I believe in their automation ideas, at all (having read
further into their website).

If someone managed to hack into my (externally hosted) website and take
it over, it'd continue updating the certificate under their control. 
But if I had to be the one updating the certificate, it wouldn't get
automatically updated in my absence.
