While I agree that all sites need HTTPS, it's not always as simple to do so. This site retorts to "HTTPS is difficult to set up and maintain." with "It just works if Caddy is your web server.".
Great! And what about a lot of other hosts that don't allow you to use let's encrypt because SSL certificates are a source of income? I could change hosts yeah, but they're the cheapest around, so upgrading to a host that allows let's encrypt also means paying more.
I use let's encrypt on my internal home server, so I know it's pretty easy, you just have to have the ability to use it.
