Why? Pointing SSL Labs at my bank, it's what they use (ECDH secp256r1). What does your bank use? Or is there a site that you consider more important than that one?

Would you fire the folks at Let's Encrypt, who only offer certs of RSA and P-{256,384}? Gmail, where they do offer x25519, but where most browsers use secp256r1?

Banks are not known for using the best/safest solutions. Just take 4 digit pins and 3DES into account for example.

I am pretty sure that nginx and openssl only recently added support for ed25519 certificates. Although to be honest I don't really like the idea of let's encrypt. The addressing system that tor uses has solved that issue already.

This is an issue. Browser vendors should prioritize the djb algorithms.
