I use a cheap shared web host. My current and previous host both have LetsEncrypt implementations that take a couple of clicks. The former one was just default cpanel I think.

It is difficult if you want to understand the process, though no more so than, say, using Git IMO.

In short cpanel and other shared host panels make it as easy as the clicky-clicky Wordpress install

Given how arcane and confusing anything beyond the most basic Git usage can get, that's hardly a glowing endorsement. :)

I agree, I found that comparison a bit odd. Certbot is many many orders of magnitude easier to use than Git, and that's even if you need to "use" it beyond the run-once-and-forget standard use-case
