> The fact this CA was based in India ultimately has nothing to do with it

Oh, then you will be missing more than half the fun of this thread. The sleeper agent racist in good people of the good part of the globe come knocking whenever a third world country (with a somewhat decent economy) comes in the news for bad reasons. You have also seemingly missed the threads about space related failures and accidents related to this country here. Those will be interesting to read. There are very subtle terms being used in some comments like "their worldview" et cetera.

> genuine need for an Indian company CA

Should be for pretty much any country and those certs should be trusted like other certs are trusted!!! Otherwise change the way these chains/trusts work.

> since not every body can/wants to use Let's Encrypt or whatever.

No they don't. It's an American company. (Let's not begin about "non-profit" part of it).
