Exactly. In the overall threat landscape that computer users face using HTTPS for cat videos and blog posts is meaningless.

Everyone who needs HTTPS already implemented it and any individual user who actually cares about security can use a VPN.

Are you proposing that Chrome drop the security warning if it detects that the user is visiting a site that only has cat videos or blog posts on? Do you realise that people have been arrested for writing blog posts?

Not only for writing, but also for sharing/reposting/liking/upvoting.
