On multiple occasions I had trouble getting people to accept a self signed cert to show them something on a local webpage. It seems that elderly nowadays are super vary of any hacking or scams. YMMV.

I'm sure you meant "wary". How amazing, education really does work. There is such a thing as overabundance of caution. But it's possible further education could encourage users to apply more balanced caution policies.

Excellent, security education is working. The correct response to someone trying to convince you to accept a self-signed certificate is extreme skepticism; don't undermine people's understanding of good security practices.
