Thanks for all the interesting context and backstory; I wasn't aware of any of that.

In any case, if it was unclear, my point here wasn't that I necessarily dislike the brickwall UI. In light of the studies you've referenced, I definitely prefer it, and if it were up to me it would be enabled for all of TLS regardless of how many existing services with broken deployments are out there.

My point is that, if the more secure UX is part of the reason for Google's decision, I would rather have HPKP with a less secure UX than not have it at all.
