How does the use of HTTPS restrict who can participate in the IETF? That is
like saying that because we no longer offer Gopher, we have closed off
participation to some (possibly null) set of Internet users.
If we do not encourage the use of our own work, why should anyone else use it?

It makes no sense at all to restrict access in this way.
