I don't get people who worry about _feature_ pinning like this.
I imagine them looking at a business continuity plan and being aghast - why are we spending money to manage the risk from a wildfire in California overwhelming our site there, yet we haven't spent ten times as much on a zombie werewolf defence grid or to protect against winged bears?
HSTS defends against a real problem that actually happens, like those Californian wildfires, whereas "whatever reason you are no longer able to serve HTTPS traffic" is a fantasy like the winged bears that you don't need to concern yourself with.
