Primarily because of lack of volunteer time. Buying a certificate is
a big effort, issuing a cacert one is simple.
And before anybody says "no, it's not difficult", or "no, it shouldn't
be difficult", please consider volunteering for the next ten years to
manage the PSF server certificates (as one of the key problems that
makes it difficult is that responsibilities change so often with
volunteers).

Martin
