You're right but nobody cares - the market share of people with your problem is small and software vendors like Google will probably not spend too much money catering for people like you.

Harsh but true.

> the market share of people with your problem is small

I don't have stats or data, but I don't think the households with devices that have web interfaces like a nas, routers, media centers, and stuff like this are small.

Yes it is and if you look at something like routers, most people will never look at the web interface (or know it exists). You are overestimating the general publics technical savvy and accessing a web interface counts as technical savvy.

Do we want that companies making NAS (for example) starting making them work from a cloud based interface (and thus externalize some of your private datas) to avoid Chrome alerts ?

Personally I’d rather not.

My NAS, firewall, wifi AP and all 5 of my Raspberry Pi all serve proper https pages. It is absolutely doable and scriptable. I haven't had to manually update a LE cert all year.
