Using TLS does not mean one needs to buy a PKIX certificate from a CA.
Some CAs issue free certificates, one can use self-signed
certificates, one can provision keys in DNS (DANE/TLSA), one can use
PGP keys, one can use anonymous DH cipher suites, etc. You might think
some of those options are non-starters, but it's incorrect to say that
mandatory TLS means we're forcing people to buy certificates from CAs.
