I think the more apt (pun not intended) comparison would be to macOS? Trying to install macOS High Sierra from the Internet without hackery will lead to "the recovery server could not be contacted" error message, because certificates have expired.

Though up next will be expiration of Windows UEFI CA 2011 which will certainly lead to boot problems for some.
