Isn't this the fault of those deploying the captive portal for not implementing RFC7710 and advertising a secure login URL?

First time I hear of RFC7710, all I see is HTTP hijacking. Does anybody support it, in particular OS vendors? I suppose some new UI or a new API for browsers would be required.

Yes, but we have to work around crappy software all the time. I've used portals that only trigger on google.com
