Whilst I don’t disagree with you on a technical level, you need to bear in mind that browsers are going to warn people, and that will put people off. There’s a body of opinion that this will impact Google ranking. I have in the past paid for a fairly expensive EV SSL certificate, but now I use https://letsencrypt.org/ on Debian Linux. The certificates are valid for 90 days, but renewed after 60 days.
