There are two sides to that, right?
You're building a new startup in (whatever) Bulgaria. Funds are low, but you want to protect your users by using TLS/SSL. That's easy today, but your 'Think of the good old days' line is kind of killing that option. I know that in my early 'put something on the net' days I didn't pay for a certificate because it was just too expensive.
Nevermind that the process you seem to expect doesn't scale internationally and that I seriously dislike the US centric bias anyway (too much power in one country, without the privacy laws I consider basic standard).
