TLS 1.3 is - in browser-centric scenarios - about 50% of clients today. Put another way: at least half of the internet does not support TLS 1.3, and that is larger still if you are in the embedded, large enterprise or similar spaces.

It will take a while to close out that last 50%, and I do not blame Let’s Encrypt for taking the clearly practical approach here (by far).
