Let's encrypt has developers empowered to just get https done in a couple of minutes. This includes the time it takes to search for certbot syntax on stack overflow. Years ago the certificate was a big deal in project specifications, project managers could lay out the FUD and trick clients into spending more money on more snake oil. This was a pain for developers as they would have to get the work done. Sometimes the client would not have access to the one or two email boxes needed for this archaic system so there would be an added hurdle of setting up info@example.com or whatever it was that was needed to get EV to happen. Nobody misses those days and the pain and hassle just was not worth it. Certbot came along and made it so easy. Nobody questioned why they needed EV certificates, sometimes you cannot argue with free and easy.
