Free CAs are prone to fraud and abuse because they have no innate funding model and there's no barrier to anyone issuing a cert to any particular domain while attempting to circumvent domain authentication.

Let's Encrypt has a much better track record at preventing people from issuing certs for random domains compared to many other commercial entities.
