“In general” is a broad statement, given that the overwhelming majority of people using the Web PKI have no idea that they’re doing so. DigiCert is not a legible part of the value chain for the average users; they won’t notice that the sites they use switch CAs. This strong disfavoritism towards vendors is arguably one of the Web PKI’s greatest strengths.
