>Maybe letting the certificates expire would have actually helped to secure the IoT.
You would also have hundreds of millions of people who can't connect to most websites anymore:
>Let's Encrypt says it was added to Android's CA store in version 7.1.1 (released December 2016) and, according to Google's official stats, 33.8 percent of active Android users are on a version older than that.
Not everyone can afford to buy a new phone every 4-5 years. You would alienate a lot of people from smartphones, from websites that use Let's Encrypt, or maybe even websites that use HTTPS.
