As with most things, progress isn't clean or easy. Shifts in policy or practice cause disruptions, and then people adjust. The world is a dynamic place.
Software is no exception. SSL libraries will get better if they get used more. The developers will make them better. Or if they can't, we'll find a solution that works.
The question is whether the benefit of the disruption outweighs the cost. Browser-makers decided that their users' needs were best served by this change. Mozilla and Google have been telegraphing their actions in this direction for years. They have attempted to make a responsible and gradual transition, and to a large extent have succeeded.
Every once in awhile though, a break needs to be made and some folks will get left behind until they adapt, or don't.
