Yes, but it's also important IMO to allow HTTP access and not require HTTPS.

I.e., the reason for the shift should not be to force use of a secure

I don't think I agree. And neither does RFC 7258.

If you are on a network that needs to MITM your HTTPS, it should run you
through their SOCKS / PROXY and install the right trust anchors on your
machine.
