I think the author missed the root cause, which is the demise of (unencrypted) HTTP/1.1 connections.

I'm glad unencrypted http/1.1 was deprecated. I want a privacy online. TLS also gives you much better data integrity guarantees. Some ISPs - particularly in the US - actively inject javascript code into websites served over plain HTTP.

I just wish nginx / caddy / etc had better out-of-the-box support for letsencrypt. It would be way easier to set up if it was just built in to nginx. Let me specify my domain in my nginx config, and just make it work.
