Certs can be purchased for the price of a coffee or two and are generally trivia to implement — there’s really no reason NOT to upgrade these days, no matter how benign the content. And I say that as someone who still has a non-HTTPS portfolio site :)

And, therefore, a cert is about as meaningful as a coffee or two.

Someone not attesting the validity of the data served from their site is, effectively, lying if they provide a cert.

What exactly do you think https certs do?
Not very much. That is the point.
