No, I don't think there is a legitimate reason for it, but it came up
as a possible situation during our testing, so they wanted me to fix
that issue as well. As far as I know, no one actually every types in
https://domainname.com, but management wants it fixed anyway. So that
is why I asked the question.

if they were to go to the proper front page of our site, and just
click through links, they would end up on a https://www.domainname.com
site, and the certificate would work. I think they are just wanting to
remove everything that could possibly be an error, even if it is only
a self-generated error.
