Yeah sure takes one minute, one minute of wondering if you really wanna bash your head against a wall getting openssl to spit out an X509 cert and then some.

Not all web development is three guys on Linux laptops at WeWork.
If you're a big org, presumably you could just get your org to just buy the TLD if it's that much trouble.
Something tells me it's not actually that much trouble though, and people just like whining about minor inconveniences because it's the internet and they can.
