I don’t use Chrome on iOS but Safari explicitly shows “Not Secure” for a non-HTTPS site. The secure ones have a padlock. My non-tech friends find this to be very clear; they have learned not to enter information when a website is “Not Secure”.

If this is the direction in which Chrome is heading, the 5-billion or so users will know, without a doubt, whether a site is secure or not. I don’t see a problem with this change, per se. The others, especially targeting ad blockers, seem to be a step in the wrong direction.
