My limited understanding- LE certs only say that the data sent between you and the server is encrypted, while traditional CAs also tell you 'who' that server belongs to.
So, your connection to _qhtn.org may be secure, but it may not be this _qhtn you're exchanging data with. Traditional CAs claim to do some sort of ID verification.
