Actually the problem is that they are too widespread. if something happened, and they started creating fake certificates, for outside force or otherwise, they can't just be blocked because literally half of the internet or more breaks. what's worse, if browser vendors trued that, people would be downgrading their browser to the last version accepting it, and become exposed to publicly revealed security vulnerabilities. not all because its a bit complicated, but enough would do to have it cause an even greater problem.
You do make a good point. However, Let's encrypt is run by the IRSG which is a non profit focused on improving internet security. They are the ones who are pushing for shorter certificate lifetimes among other things.
