We know these animals yhermoregulate in the wild, I see no reason why we should force something else upon them simply because we can.
That's my opinion on the matter

A snake doesn't WANT to thermoregulate, a snake HAS to thermoregulate. I think that the amount of breeders using this method and the sheer number of animals that have been raised with controlled ambient temperatures proves, at least to me that a snake doesn't need to thermoregulate.
Thermoregulation is something that keepers force on their snakes would be my counter point to your last statement. The keeper is in control of everything. Literally every aspect of their care is forced upon them by us.
