On the contrary… LE is unaffected by this, since from the beginning it has enforced a much shorter certificate expiry time: 90 days. Which effectively forces you to set up automated renewals. Doing that does not require the help of "large players"; you stick certbot or another tool in your crontab, or use something like Caddy or Apache mod_md to have your web server do it by itself.

Fun fact: you can use Caddy to manage certificates independently of its web server, with just a few lines of config: https://caddy.community/t/using-caddy-to-keep-certificates-r...

This approach is more reliable than cron in case of failures/errors. Not only are there fewer moving parts, Caddy's error handling logic and retries are smarter than just "try again in <interval>".
