Wildcard certs (which that page uses) are not free.
Also, they (CA+cert) are broken beyond repair. I understand lulling users into false sense of security because they don't understand what they are doing, and scary message is scary. But CA chain is so insecure today, that I would rather trust cached cert, my 'convergence' setup or luck than happy green lock icon.
The only reason to not have one are (misguided, IMO) principles, lazyness, ignorance, ... or there really is a MITM. :P
