I don't understand this sentiment. Once the process is automatic it won't be managed or monitored.

Well, even large companies do a crap job at managing and monitoring the renewal of certificates manually. There has been many occurences of large companies (including Microsoft or Linkedin) leaving some certificate expire.

Right and I don't expect them to manage an automatic process any better. I'm saying that there should be a form of trust for long standing stable environments.
