How does hypixel have their website and minecraft server on their root domain? (I would like to do something similar)

DNS A record points to an IP destination. Ports are then handled by the requests for a specific thing.

Nope. Just ports and an A Record.

Flexibility. Maybe they get a hosting package that includes domain registration and hosting, but they can’t put anything else under that name.

Maybe most smaller ones have hosted both things separately, e.g… with a dedicated minecraft server hoster and a common website-building+hosting service, and don’t want to run an extra server for a proxy just for this.
With bigger servers (eg. Hypixel, 2b2t) or selfhosted servers (eg. mine), everything is on the same physical (or virtual) machine anyway and therefore everything has the same address, so you wouldn’t even need a proxy.
