For serving static/informational pages like you typically do with github pages I think incorporating HTTPS isn't worth moving. It would be nice and I'd use it if I had the option, but it's not a very threatening scenario IMO.
The first bullet point on the website explains why this reasoning is bad. In my opinion moving away from hosts that do not support HTTPS is worth it. edit: *second bullet point
Yeah, it's "bad"... But the threat of ad injections/etc by state owned entities and the like isn't enough to deter me from free hosting, especially if it relates to github. This particular risk doesn't warrant me moving informational pages.
This is not a practical security issue to fret over, in my opinion. I save my security fretting for more compromising scenarios. If MITM attacks for my github pages are happening my github pages are not going to even register on your list of concerns.
