I know that Let's Encrypt is providing them for free, but the expiration time is notably sooner than their paid counterparts.
For example, most of the key websites I host have paid SSL certificates, some of which last for 1 year, and some others last for 2 years.
I also host websites that aren't of much importance to the outside world (like my Git server or my file storage server), and those expire after 3 months.
But yes, it's perfectly possible to create fake certificates.
Especially web developers do that for web apps that are still in development, as it doesn't make sense to pay for a certificate just to check whether what you make works fine on HTTPS.
But it's better not to use those on production websites, since it only gives warnings or even errors to people, and commonly get scared away as a result.
Edit: while we're at it, why the fuck does this site store 34 cookies on my PC?
