I'd love for them to explain how, if anything the short cert validity and constant re-checking of the domain seems more secure than traditional CAs

I'd also argue that the fact that it's 100% automated and their software is open source makes it objectively more secure. On the issuing side, there's no room for human error, social engineering, etc.
