It can't be that hard to whip up a cross platform Qt app that streamlines the keygen and CSR process in a user friendly fashion. Maybe throw in some dodgy key escrow service for the daring. Why does everything have to be done over the web.

The problem is, people who don't understand the issue will prefer a solution that doesn't require installing some software.
