This is why noone should ever have adopted things like Let's Encrypt for their blogs and random portfolio websites in the first place.
Especially not with disabling regular HTTP access.
Will this be a wake-up call for everyone? Highly doubt it. The presumed "correct" solution is depreciation of all of those perfectly capable devices with gigabytes of memory and storage as outdated and broken, even though Google Search still works on all of them, as does any other website that's HTTPS-free, as would any other website that's using Let's Encrypt for no particularly good reason had they simply not adopted Let's Encrypt in the first place. HTTP still works and doesn't suffer from any of these compatibility problems.
Anyone cares to calculate the environmental impact of this planned obsolescence action?
The thing that's most annoying, however, is the loud insistence by a minority group that it's the devices that are at fault, not their insistence on using Let's Encrypt to secure things that are public information and aren't meant to be secured.
