I believe that they could get some additional extra money from unlocking domain quotas.

Due to technical bug my domain got black listed for a week, and I had to buy a new domain due to the deadline. I couldn't have used QA cert server.

How does that generate more revenue for them?

By offering a paid option to remove your quota on a domain. (or raise it)

I would find this pretty useful on occasion. Not to mention, it makes more sense to me than selling cheap wildcards, because now you've got a product, and you're potentially encouraging poor security (as pointed out by other commenters in this thread). Seems much more aligned with the goal of Lets Encrypt in the first place.
