Yes.
Also why do I get a certificate warning that looks the same for an IP (https://192.168.1.1) which you can not buy certificates? What about 10.x.x.x or even 127.0.0.1? As far as I know you can also no longer purchase a certificate for public IPs.
Just watch how consumer router manufactures are going to work around this by either re-educating their users to ignore the red warnings or only selling cloud managed and locked devices which sucks for everyone.
