Wonder if this will pave the way for other protocols over HTTPS.

Hopefully not. One needs to stop working around crappy setups from crappy networks. Which X-over-HTTPS really is all about.

It seems like crappy networks are the norm nowadays, and the preference of the ISPs is to offer the web only. You need a middle box just to access the internet at-large (e.g Tor). Masquerading traffic as web traffic appears to be a good tactic, though inefficient/sloppy.

Yeah, but once everything is tunneled over HTTP it will finally fix the network operator problem once and for all since you can't filter applications using ports.
