I'm not sure it's the good way to present this (or phrase it).
It's more that their presence enlarge the number of HTTPS sites (or service) by 50% (totally thumb in the wind estimation :-D ) than "stealing" customers to other companies.
Of course there's a part of migrating certificates to Let's encrypt, but I find it more important that the HTTPS surface had grown that much.
- tialaramex 9y agoFor the top 10 million sites examined by w3techs (which looks at sites to see if they use technologies like PNG, WebM, embedded fonts, whatever) HTTPS went from under 15% to almost 50% since they started measuring. Less than half that growth is Let's Encrypt, their growth is still spectacular, but to put things into perspective, if they had the _same_ growth and the whole HTTPS market didn't grow they would now control 110% of the market, yet in fact every other major CA grew at the same time.
