now the corporates got a valid point, why you dont want to use lets encrypt? still the 33% of the devices is a quite a large number to consider.

  But like they said in the article, those 33% of Android phones represent "1-5% of the traffic" of the "large integrators" websites that LE communicated with.

    Well that's an easy choice, lose 1-5% of traffic or pay $100 for a certificate from a vendor whose root doesn't expire next year?

      1-5% of traffic that comes from people using devices that are at least 4 years old. Someone who can't or won't upgrade from a phone that still uses Android Marshmallow is probably not bringing in much revenue.

        Exactly. The “easy choice” is to drop support for those users. I suspect most web developers won’t even notice. It’s a pity - there’s no essential reason why old phones with new batteries should get worse over time. But software kills them in so many ways.

      As long as this statement is true. They also dont's say who these big integrators are and the situation may be widely different between integrators and fields.
