https prevents MITM but doesn't prevent the modules being backdoored or otherwise altered at the source.

I would prefer https-only, sure, but it doesn't buy you very much security.

Well, diasabling http by default is basically "Internet 101" here.

I don't want to write an full lecture on how many attacks are possible when people don't use https. It has been commmon knowledge for way more than a decade
