Technically you still have a web of trust with S/MIME. You just don't say "I trust you because X said you're good and I trust X" but you say "I trust you, because you paid X money and X did probably a good background check on you". So rather a tree than a web.

I guess it is philosophical to argue if a tree can be considered a net as well.
