   By quick and dirty hack, I mean back when you had to spend $$$ for a cert from DigiCert (formerly VeriSign). Look how much they cost for a cert, and even a cheaper CA is a few bucks a year.
   
   The idea of LE was to force everyone on the internet into using SSL and in particular newer versions of SSL/TLS. In particular, as much as normies seem to have forgotten the Snowden leaks (and it's very easy to write them off in their apathy to move off of centralized services), the #1 thing that did happen was the rise of HTTPS. That's the #1 difference before and after the leaks, and it definitely locked out a lot of old computer users and boomers still using the unencrypted web as well. In fact, if you look at old versions of IE (if you don't remember those days) or old shopping websites from the past, the mindset was that HTTPS was only for things like banking and online shopping.
