LetsEncrypt chose 3 months. Maybe that’s a hint for us that frequent renewals are better.

  No, for SSL certificates there's value in having a short expiry. For example if the private keys leak. There's no value in having a domain name (that you want to keep) expire.

    The value is in forcing you to keep it in mind. You don’t forget about things you have to do every 3 months as easily as something you have to do every 10 years.

      If your logic is sound, then explain why I forget to refill my medication on time which I do monthly, but I don’t forget to renew my domains?

        You’re comparing apples and oranges. Do you more easily forget a password you use everyday or one you use once a year?
