Why would that be? Hn is full of people who do not like even essential bureaucracy, let alone an unneeded one. Yet when it comes to superfluous certificate authorities suddenly its ok? That does not make sense. Everyone is concerned about centralization in other contexts but do not see the downsides of certificate centralization and control? How is it that there is no technical solution that does not involve 'authorities'? This is how control works, first its innocuous and harmless - just get a cert, its even free from letsencrypt. Then after that is accepted its x,y,z. Then its x,y,z and your first newborn. And now you have a way to effectively prevent people from publishing and can silence dissent and anything you don't like under the cover of 'process'.
