I think most of the 'why' behind it is just that 'thats what xen does',

domain ID has been there since day 1 in libvirt, which was largely a duplicate
of xen interfaces at the time.
Yeah, different drivers use it differently. For instance, LXC use it to
report PID of container's init, QEMU use it to report sequential ID of
domain, etc.
