They got caught backdating certs & doing some other funky stuff.

https://www.theregister.co.uk/2016/10/10/heads_roll_as_qihoo_360_moves_to_end_wosign_startcom_certificate_row/To my understanding, it was WoSign that did this stuff, not StartCom. WoSign then secretly bought StartCom. That is the part that killed StartCom.

^ Yes, that is correct, not StartCom ^
Question is will StartCom (+ WoSign) ever recover since they have not yet claimed that they are dead or out of business!

Lenovo is doing well selling to people who can't remember the biggest news in IT security ever, even thought it is recent, and that is far worse. So I imagine that the average shop will just ignore the security problems here and keep giving them money.

I was looking at a cell phone the other day and saw Lenovo. I closed the page and washed my eyes out with soapy water.

True, but the browser folks (Mozilla, Google, Apple & Msft) will have more influence on whether or not they stay alive.
What can they do if no browser's will trust their certs? -

Only 2 browsers are not trusting them right now though. Here is the image I posted above.

Not recently but before some year purchased from one reputed ssl provider clickssl. 10 out of 10 for their customer support.
