If there's nothing wrong with those shared certificates, then CloudFlare wouldn't offer "custom certificates" as a $5/month upgrade.

> You can also host on github pages while using Cloudflare for the custom domain, which is already the most common setup on github for several years now.

Yes, because GitHub Pages was not offering HTTPS for custom domains. Now they do, so that need is gone.

Yes, because people want more, like having multiple levels of subdomains as the free one only supports a single level.

Security is absolutely not an issue with a shared certificate and Cloudflare wouldn't get far as a company if they had an insecure product. Why don't you actually explain what you think is so problematic about sharing a cert?
