A comment on I wish I didn't miss the '90s-00s internet. Parent comment
TLS is a racket. The protocol is important, it's required, sure.
The companies who issue the certificates however have been printing money ever since SSL came to exist. Each certificate issued is a money note.

Domains are too.
Let'sEncrypt has been providing service for nearly 10 years now
