I don't know ... it serves a different purpose.
One scenario:
There a lot of problems and the DNS server (appliance) is down....
because it's running on Windows ;-)
but you've some really important - clusters or servers, a lot of
settings not using IP addresses but DNS names (as it should be...)
If you then have host entries cached by sssd, you still *can* resolve
the hosts...
without having to distribute /etc/hosts files with a configuration mgmt system.
