What evidence do you possess that supports this assertion and would
you care to share it with us?
https://letsencrypt.org/2015/11/09/why-90-days.html
"29% of TLS transactions use ninety-day certificates."
could this statement be a little bit more precise ...

or another thought, if every website contained
this: <IMG SRC="https://www.track.org/track.png?id=75r75fbbf75hfn";>
and the host 'www.track.org' used a 90day throw-away certificate
then the statement wouldn't say anything,
because nobody said, if it was in connection with explicit wanted TLS transactions ...
