But if you care about security you can - with useful effect - choose a registrar with better security processes, and you can use a registry lock to prevent other registrars from undermining that security. There isn't a way to prevent other CAs undermining your security, so choosing a "more secure" CA has no useful effect. (Certificate Transparency should help, though.)
