That's a good point, domain registrars like GoDaddy generally don't make much on domains alone and focus on selling additional services like hosting packets (and SSL), where they probably make most of their money. However, most browser vendors are already making plans to phase out HTTP without TLS by only providing new features/APIs to HTTPS sites (and eventually by displaying http:// http:// as insecure in the UI). I think in the end this will force shared hosting providers to include domain-validated certificates (from e.g. letsencrypt) in their base packages for free. Instead, they would probably push OV and EV certs to make up for any revenue loss.
