The most impressive thing it that Let’s Encrypt are the ones who are trying to fix a problem that should be fixed by phone manufactures and telcos.

I can see why, but I would also have like the phones to “break” so the owners would avoid those brands in the future, and pick one who care enough to push out update.

Still, I can blame Let’s Encrypt, they just want to be the good guys, and the do it so beautifully and transparently.

It probably wouldn't encourage many people to upgrade their phones, though. They would probably just see the website as broken and either click through the warning or abandon it completely
Nearly 60% of the web is using Let's Encrypt certs now. It's not just the one of two sites are going to break, it's going to be half the web.
