They are trying to create brand confusion. Let's Encrypt is big news right now. Everyone knows their service is 'going places'. Comodo's people figure they can steer some customers toward their service if those customers don't know better.
It's a sleazy bait-and-switch sort of tactic, like offering a free service and then using popups or confusing navigation to make people think it isn't free so they pay for it.
The CEO's post makes it pretty clear what sort of person he really is. I think their employees should resign. People who knowingly work for evil corporations deserve some of the shame if they don't leave when that evil is recognized.
