Do you know how many SSL certificates are issued per year? LE issued 10 million per day in 2025. https://letsencrypt.org/2025/12/09/10-years

And again, you have to actively work to get a "private key" of 0000 ... 0-255. If you want to be stupid it's not really the CA's job to tell you not to be. It's their job to verify your identity. And, again, a CA itself is a totally separate beast where this thinking does not apply. If you want to be secure it's easy to be secure and if you don't want to be... Why should anyone else care? You are only hurting yourself.

The check should probably be done for intermediary CAs though? Right?
