I am more worried about non web services that don't listen on port 80. For instance my fulcrum indexer. Rotating certs will require me to switch DNS providers to automate cert rotation. Really a PITA. Not everyone uses certs just for web apps that can easily handle http renewal flows.

Using managed SLL for example, with Cloudflare proxy and certificate served will practically be forever valid, you won't need to worry about any renewal process.
