I would like to emphatically post a +1 here. On all points, except perhaps the use of PIM (for security reasons primarily).

As long as we're talking interdomain, no objections. But intradomain, the fact that the source of a given multicast might vary, without mandating that each destination join all possible source-specific multicasts individually, is a "feature" that we exploit.

The model is much the same as telephone conference calls. You send out the conference call number to all possible participants, but then you want to avoid the extra complication of requiring each one dialing in having to dial the number of each participant. That would be quite laborious and unnecessary.
