iOS/MacOS block HTTP requests by default unless you request (and for apps on the App Store, are granted) an exception. So, I’d think that in-app advertisers on iOS would want to support HTTPS.

I believe this slightly pre-dated that enforcement on iOS. As you mentioned though, you can get exceptions, and I'm sure many large apps do get this.
