That is the question, the common question nowadays, not specific to the macOS world by the way. Windows offer the same alternate strategies (with more or less the same pros and cons for each answer).
Binding or not binding to a directory services is the main question that mobility first let us.
If you are an “old-style” system administrator used to bind your workstations to your directory service, this concern may seem bizarre. If you are new to this world, you might be doubtful looking at the two camps facing each other.
Let’s try to understand why you would choose one side or the other, through the prism of a macOS deployment with MDM and DEP.

Cybersecurity area is specific in a certain way: it’s the only one who could be used to break down a country by one shot and where defensive operations are mainly handled by private actors and not the state.
When a country is attacked on its territory by another one or a terrorist group, it’s the army and the police who are in charge of the defensive task, and the army alone for the counter-offensive.
