Recipe for disasters. Who designed this SPOF?

  Nobody “designed” it and as the parent said, there are alternatives. It’s just that SSL certificates need to be generated by an authority, and LE is the authority chosen by most people that use LE’s technology.

  A couple people. Working groups that decide internet standards. Industries and private companies that control how the internet works. Web browsers that determine how the world wide web works. Organizations made up of people from each of these categories. And of course, every single user, developer, vendor, etc that hungrily adopts and subsequently becomes dependent on everything they put out. There is no God, but there are working groups of angels discussing Existence Standards.
