Sorry, but why is http a benefit here? Http has lots of downsides - like the traffic can be snooped and edited. (It is edited by many ISPs for advertising. And in countries like Australia the ISPs are required by law to log all http requests.) And of course, you can’t use http2 without tls.

What is the benefit to turning https off?
