No, but you can build your own stack from scratch fairly easily, and it's easier to debug when you can see the plaintext through the data structures.

And it's easier to debug a video codec if it's ASCII art, but there's huge benefits for using TLS everywhere instead of plaintext, and they more than outweigh "it's harder to debug."
