I don't like seeing how the SSL hurdle affects small read-only websites.

  Agreed. Talk about sledgehammer to crack a nut. Typical sysadmin solution to a problem assuming every Joe Blogger is going to setup his own VPS and fsck with certbot.

    Joe Blogger is not expected to setup a VPS, Joe Blogger is using shared hosting or a blog-as-a-service, and thus leaves worrying about how to implement HTTPS to someone else.

      So the death of self-sufficient, independent Joe Blogger espcially if that "someone else" is his hosting provider who doesn't handle Letsencrypt.

    If Joe Blogger can setup LAMP, he can setup ACME. If Joe can't setup LAMP, Joe will use a web host that does all of it for him including HTTPS. If Joe picked a host that's incapable of securing sites, Joe needs to switch to any of the dozens (if not hundreds) of competitors that can get this right.
