This is true. But forcing https everywhere is bad for a lot of people.

Please see this article, that nicely describes all the downsides of https.

So, while adding https is a nice thing, still offering unencrypted access (and not forcing https i.e. by automatically redirecting http to https) to content is critical for these people.
