Samsung as the culprit I agree with you, that is the most likely reason, too many modifications by Samsung but the relevant they missed or did something wrong.

doesn't seem to work in Samsung Internet - it is more "does not work in any app except Firefox as Firefox has it's own certificate trust store". As your device does not receives updates the only alternatives are rooting + installing the Let's Encrypt certificate or install a custom ROM with a newer Android version.
