I understand how the trust store works, thanks. On the rest, we will have to agree to disagree. And, I am happy the browser owners are doing what they are doing. A chain of trust should be, well, trustworthy.
On that, we agree. I take exception to someone else making that decision for me and depriving me of the option to decide for myself who I trust. The obviousness of the financial motive is also a problem.A chain of trust should be, well, trustworthy.

Also, Encryption can be done without certs. Have done it. It's a false co-dependency that has been pushed upon the masses. Certs (do their best to) guarantee identity.
What should have happened? The root ca's with exposed keys should have been immediately re-issued and certificates issued based on those roots should have been replaced. Then nobody really loses, except whoever is exploiting the hack that is being blamed as the root cause here. If this were the scenario, as you say, scubaboard and other sites would have installed new certs before or at expiration time and nobody would have cared. That's not how it played out though...
