Business? Not all websites are for business or run by business people. Yet they provide info on the web. Also Let's Encrypt (I am familiar and we use that btw)

Business? Not all websites are for business or run by business people. Yet they provide info on the web.
Also Let's Encrypt (I am familiar and we use that btw) is great for certain types of situations but not all situations and doesn't work with all control panels in certain cases. For example using the plesk control panel you can't map a domain to a directory or sub page on a site. You can of course add it as an alias to the main page but not say /thisdirectory/index.html at least not as of last week.
Also installing a cert is non-trivial for most users and takes time and work. My issue is not with the people that care to do that or feel it's necessary. It's with this idea that 'everyone should do it period' being decided by the browser vendors. And in particular the way an error message is displayed and shocks a typical user not every gently at all. That is the issue that stops people cold in their track. And scares them.
