It seems more like "privacy, in search of a viable business model" (or possibly "security").

If Let's Encrypt starts charging for a certificate, how many web sites will switch to http-only?

Yeah.

While not privacy-related, that http-only would break my own model of banning all things Chrome via a certain combo of TLSv3.1 crypto, regardless of UserAgent string.
