Letsencrypt is under US jurisdiction. Is there a free-er alternative? (sopuli.xyz)

I know that I can simply make my own private certificate authority that only I and my family trust. But is there some public provider like letsencrypt that is in a free-er part of the world than the US?

I don't think anyone is gonna solve that problem until it's actually a problem.

    I don't think anyone's going to solve the problem in general, to be honest.

    Like, Let's Encrypts goal is super novel, but also expensive as shit to actually run, and requires a lot of coordination because it needs to be a trust authority. If this ever happened, it would probably be at the backing of some government structure, because I don't see many people wanting to jump at that as an expense.
