Well in the modern internet the general view is that everything should
be encrypted to defend against attacks that are simple to implement and
to encourage the use of certificates provided by organisations such as
LetsEncrypt. I suppose that anything that hides potentially
sensitive information is "a good thing"[tm].

Currently Firefox does permit an http:// link to be followed after
clicking through a warning, but there will probably come a time when it
will no longer do so. I don't know when this will happen, but it's
bound to be on the horizon.
