There are dozens of us; but I am scared to use go daddy now , not just for all the horror and cut back tech support, or for it’s shady business practices, or deceptive marketing.
But because I heard that they keep stealing valuable ip and domains
I’ve worked with tons of clients that have “successfully used GoDaddy for years” while they are paying far more for a domain that nearly any other registrar, they are forced to pay for a basic SSL certificate that is free anywhere else, they are tricked into buying services that that don’t need and literally makes things worse and more difficult.
But ask someone who actually knows webdev and web hosting and you’ll hear all about the issues that are there in plain sight.
GoDaddy very simply preys on people who don’t know any better.
I used GoDaddy when I got my first domain, and then I heard about drama and switched GUI namecheap for domains. That was 10 years ago and I’ve never once had issues.
Same. I’ve gotten hosting at Digital Ocean and Vultr, and now I’m at Hetzner. I’ve always maintained that separating the registrar from hosting is a good idea.

they’ve always done this

I’m now with Cloudflare and pretty happy.
I have my domains at namecheap. No drama. Sometimes they live up to their name, would not use their hosting services.
When I use the domains elsewhere , I just enter the name server URL’s in their web gui from the 1990s.
Over the years I have heard bad stuff about them too

Yes, not having all eggs in same basket is good
