Name constraints are an optional feature in the standards. A client can ignore the constraints and be completely standards compliant.

Should the CAs issue intermediate certs that are only secure if a client implements an optional feature?

And even if most web browsers support name constraints properly - who knows if that cheap network webcam does, or that old mail client, or that 20 year old retro PC game?
