This is not true. Most browsers will flag a full-screen certificate warning
and not allow the user to proceed without clicking through scary text.

Additionally, browsers that support HSTS will not allow users to click
through these warnings at all, for origins which have a statically or
dynamically set HSTS policy.

In both cases, certificate expiration can deter user interaction with an
origin. In the latter case, the barrier to user interaction with the
website behind the expired certificate is very high.
