I agree with your reasoning in the article and in point 3 here.
I used to work at a tech firm, we used this SSL Certificates to authenticate against our internal CA. Sysadmins got it wrong, devs got it wrong, qa got it wrong and nobody else stood a chance.
The worst thing about it by far was managing keys between machines. For example, it made it impossible to work from home on an impromptu basis without someone available to help you out.
