> Yes, I know there’s esoteric hardware and stuff like that where automation isn’t straight-forward, but that’s the exception, not the rule. Maybe in your world but plenty of us work in places that have 1000s of servers, many of them internal, they don't support LE or there are security concerns with opening external firewalls just to support certificate updates so it still has to be done manually. You might be lucky to work somewhere much smaller/newer that doesn't have the problem but please don't make disparaging statements about those of us who have to do this manually.
