And spying/surveillance/analytics/snooping. That's not minimal. And you get all those benefits from checking a checkbox in cPanel and the rest is handled automatically? Who could be against that?!
There's shenanigans like "grnail.com" pretending to be "gmail.com" which bigger and much more expensive certs prevent against. But the benefit of https that doesn't prevent against this is still very high
Eg tools like cPanel have built in support for it now.
