Let's Encrypt needs internet access, something I prefer not to have for various (rather dated) systems on my network. Worse several things that ran on file:// in the past have been blocked by most browsers so even having to set up a server that then needs a valid cert is a painful complication over just clicking index.html and letting the browser handle every request locally.
