> 1. Encryption really was expensive in 1996 or so, but in the age of multicores, its questionable if there's a real cost now.

A lot of "budget-priced" hosting services are near-free for http and heavily-surcharged for https. - Pricing it to make it seem as if there were some huge cost difference. Makes a difference when shoestring clubs/nonprofits want to throw up a cheap static site.
