The thing about control panels / billing systems, is everyone today from the 16-20's expects everything to do be done for them by a click of a button... if something requires manual labour they chuck it to the side. If the control panel doesn't do this or that with a few clicks it's crap.
In this day and age that should not be a big ask. After all that is what a control panel should be. Again, most don't want or have any interest in hosting when it comes to setup, they just want their email working or a site running.
With shared hosting yea cPanel is usually a must.
It might not be a big ask, but if your a system admin, you want to do it your way not how the control panel / billing system developers do it.
You have lost me, this is about control panel preference as a shared hosting customer of which few in the global sense will be a systems admin.
In that case don't use any panels, but for shared hosting there needs to be some kind of standardised interface for processes requiring elevated privileges, like adding domains... though for the most part a lot of cpanel's tasks can be accomplished without the panel.
Lee has it right IMO, outside of the 1% of people who know what they're doing (the kind of people who visit LET), there's another 99% that expect a familiar interface.
if you are looking for it to sell i think most people paying in for shared hosting still preferred cpanel
