Binding domain allows customer’s end users to download Object Storage object of specific bucket by using the binded domain.
If customer doesn’t need service domain, then it’s not required to bind domain. Object Storage provides endpoint domain (support S3) for customer’s end users to download object.

That is to say, binding domains is not a required operation for customer, it depends on customer acutal usage scenario. Below list several scenario to get the Object Storage service. CDNetworks usually provides CDN+Object Storage solution to customers, so in this scenario, we usually need customer to complete this operation.
