> For a lot stuff on my local network I don’t want the hassle […] because there is no easy way to set up public certificates

Everything on my home network uses publicly-trusted certs from LE, including my router with only 8MB of flash and 128MB of memory. You need to use the DNS challenges if you don't want the services to be publicly accessible, but you can run ACME on nearly everything these days.

Neat part is that’s my local network and I don’t want to spend time doing that.

I’d much rather spend time arguing about it on HN.

That’s the neat part of “it is my time” and I want to use it the way I want.

It doesn’t apply to stuff I publish over the internet all personal pages blogs have https, that’s not negotiable.

Fair enough. The only reason that I bothered setting up HTTPS certificates in my home network was because I was using a domain where I had previously enabled HSTS. I was wasn't very enthusiastic about it when I first added the certificates, but once I figured it out, I appreciated seeing a little padlock when I logged in to my router. That's essentially the only benefit though, so I certainly don't blame you for not wanting to go through the effort to set it up.
