It's worth noting that a large number of people don't agree with you that HTTP is the null hypothesis. Instead, they think that HTTPS is a security/privacy best practice and a great part of defense in depth.

You can see this pro-HTTPS opinion all over this discussion.

As for your "consider", I personally do double-wrap many streams: I have a VPN for my browser. The VPN is great for hiding my home traffic from being spied on by my ISP. Without the VPN, HTTPS streams would reveal hostnames (SNI) and IP addresses to my ISP.
