But that's almost 2 years old. Have there been any more recent incidents that I'm unaware of?
Are they just hoping to drive business to their new CA: Google Trust Services?
That's unlikely, as they currently do not offer certificates to the general public. I imagine if they do at some point, it might be as part of something like their version of Amazon's ACM for their Cloud offerings, or for custom domains on sites like Blogger. I'd expect both to be free. They're also a platinum sponsor of Let's Encrypt.

Any large organization lacks the ability to "just switch" from one thing to another.
I'm fairly sure at least some of the "policy violations" that Symantec did were done exactly as a service to their large bank-or-close-enough customers. It's not that banks want to switch to a "better" SSL service, it's Symantec being a "better" service for them that got Symantec into trouble. (IIRC, from reading some of the incident reports)
Anyone have any more information on the incidents that triggered this response? I was able to find this article on Google's Security Blog: https://security.googleblog.com/2015/10/sustaining-digital-c... But that's almost 2 years old. Have there been any more recent incidents that I'm unaware of?
32 million = 0.1% 32 000 million SSL certs? = 100%
? what?
They're big enough to afford the higher end law firms likely needed too. :(

There goes my certificate (Rapidssl). Anybody know what are the remaining, trustworthy certificate issuers ? No…
I have heard lots of good things about Digicert, FWIW. No personal experience as my use case can be covered by LetsEncrypt.

How recently did you renew? This has been in the works for over two years,I'm surprised that anyone is still giving them business.
We renewed recently, through our hosting provider who have Symantec in their certificate chain.

But why is https://w3techs.com/technologies/history_overview/ssl_certif... saying Let’s Encrypt has 0.1% when https://letsencrypt.org/stats/ says 32 million Fully-Qualified Domains Active? 32 million = 0.1% 32 000 million SSL certs? = 100% ? what?
