Earlier quoted context omitted.

Custom domains would be huge for me, but I totally understand. How would they ever manage to do it? They'd either need a zillion separate entries, or the broadest wildcard cert ever.

Separate entries in what? Computers do pretty good at handling many "entries". TLS will indicate the host so they can send the right cert back.

Sorry, I meant in an Apache config file or something.

Wordpress did this by issuing Let's Encrypt certs on demand for every domain people CNAME their way.
