Says who? I, for one, don't really like the idea of "everything is http(s)".

After all, dissatisfaction with the status quo is the reasons this space (gopher, gemini, etc.) even exists. If, like you say, nobody wanted this we wouldn't be here discussing it.

The majority of people have shown a preference for what experiences they expect from the web. If we are to design a new web it should be to meet and improve apon those experiences. If we just redesign he 1999 web then very few people will adopt it. We can look at Gopher and Gemini and see that its got some users but 99.9% of people will never find it somewhere that they want to vist and to contribute to.
