Could you elaborate on why? The companies I have worked for have pretty much all used domain.com for marketing and app.domain.com for the actual application. What's wrong with this approach?



If there’s any scope for a user to inject JavaScript, then potentially this gives a vector of attack against other internal things (e.g admin.domain.com, operations.domain.com etc)


Also, if for example the SaaS you’re running sends a lot of system emails that really shouldn’t end up in spam filters, you can’t afford to let things like marketing campaigns negatively influence your domain’s spam score.

Easier and safer to have separate domains.
