> they can revoke on behalf of the "average pleb", Just like CloudFlare did. Yes but the revocation infrastructure was totally overwhelmed by that and it's unclear if many of those revocations ever made it to users' browsers. E.g. Chrome only honors the revocation lists shipped with Chrome updates -- it does not query OCSP -- and browsers that do query OCSP will "fail open" if the servers don't reply (which they often don't). (It sounds like you recognize this, just stating it for those who might not.)
