The point isn't what you can do as a user. The point is that Google adds more and more hurdles to running a website without plugging into the CA chain.

CA chain is centralized. Plus, it requires you to have a domain name. DNS is also centralized (although to a somewhat lesser extent).

Effectively, we're seeing yet another step in hyper-centralization of the web.

How many websites do you actually use don't have a domain name?

also, as above, there is no one root CA. you can add and remove any ca from your system. most users don't because why would you trust a random ca from some random site.

What's the actual problem here?

That i do not want some third party's permission to make my site and desktop applications available to everyone.

Note the one you asked, but i have the same issues with the certificate mafia.
