Not sure it's a downside/upside thing. It might shed light on the types of people who get hired at facebook.

It saves me from the implementation details, this way I don't need to wear another engineer/sysadmin hat. I think the website content is more important than the SSL implementation!
Before Letsencrypt, SSL signing was cumbersome and downright scary sometimes. With cPanel + letsencrypt (or whatever their default Auto SSL provider is [0]), it's a few clicks and done. If there's a downside, I have never seen nor heard of it. Side note: I was expecting this CEO letter to end with layoffs. [0] https://docs.cpanel.net/whm/ssl-tls/manage-autossl/
I'm still old school but can set this up all using the letsencrypt command line utilities that configure everything for me.
Oh, and whatever the hell GoDaddy's intermediate chain certificate was.

As someone that supports Let's Encrypt's efforts and playing devil's advocate, I imagine a downside is that the bar is lowered and nefarious websites can easily get SSL-equipped channels compared to the high paywall of prior.

Let’s Encrypt only gets rid of the latter, and given that fraudsters able to spoof the former can probably spare the $10 for the latter, I‘d argue that this is a good thing.

An Ex-facebook ml engineer who doesn't know what ssl is and takes pride in not having to learn it? Not sure it's a downside/upside thing. It might shed light on the types of people who get hired at facebook.

All of that noise is gone now. That makes the internet much safer.
