> Maybe they decided preparing CSR is too hard for their clients :/

It seems that a lot of businesses and people feel that making things "easier and more convenient" takes priority over best security practices. For example, we can't support client side TLS cert authentication (in addition to a username and password) because customers won't be able to generate the CSR or know how to import the certificate into their client. Instead, let's use SMS or email based two factor authentication.
