I think the fact they don't require it shows it's moribund. If cert providers (or google with their big stick of chrome) specified it is required to have DNSSEC to get a certificate, everyone would jump in line and set it up because there'd be no other choice.

Are they requiring DNSSEC in order to acquire the certificate? That would be a better indicator to me that it's not security theater=security

You claimed they all are malicious sites or they wouldn’t be included but that’s factually incorrect

I hate subscriptions as much as the next person but how would you pay for continued development of software? Do you say a person can continue to run version X forever but if they want a new version they pay for it?

I think that's a naïve idea if you think punishing a company will have any affect on the situation.

The problem is wordpress does require a database server by default.

Unfortunately your silly rule is something that exists (not for interior decorators of course) but for countless other trade jobs (barber, plumber, etc). Whether that's good or bad I can't say

From US sales, Audi can't give away their electric cars. Is it any different in Berlin or are you referring to gas/diesel Audis?

So your global tables weren't impacted in us-east-1... I thought I read their status showed issues with global table replication

Not defending the practice of the cloud providers but you’re oversimplifying the difficulty involved.
