That's a bit of a strawman. Caddy is far more lightweight than apache and even nginx. It just happens to do something they don't do.

I have no idea how this is relevant to the conversation, nor who said anything about hyperbolic claims.

You're claiming "caddy does everything". As opposed to what? If you're running apache or nginx, your server does far more than caddy, so you're quite simply mistaken.

Serving content over http(s), and obtaining TLS certificates are two very different tasks.

Far more, that is directly related to serving content over http/https.

Except that with let's encrypt one actually needs the other.
