> Why are this certificates blacklisted?

Various reasons:
- Symantec (which owned Thawte and VeriSign back in the time) made
  the news in a bad way:
  https://www.theregister.com/2017/09/12/chrome_66_to_reject_symantec_certs/
- some certificates are simply expired
- some certificates use SHA-1 ("sha1WithRSAEncryption") which is
  beyond deprecated
- and basically "whatever Mozilla did", as the certificates are
  imported from NSS.

Regards,
Christoph
