> 2) Give that you can get LE certs for free and use certbot for auto-renewal, why is anyone purchases certs anymore ? Let's Encrypt only offers Domain Validation certificates, not Organization Validation or Extended Validation (green bar) certificates [1]. The certificates themselves are only valid for 90 days, which might pose a problem for organizations where their infrastructure makes changing certificates difficult or time consuming. LE does not offer wildcard certificates [1], and there is a rate limit of 20 certificates per week per registered domain [2], so organizations with too many domains won't be able to use LE for all their certs.
