I definitely wouldn't say "loads of cash." .Com is still a very major part of any registrar's business. However, I like when new registries try new things that go beyond the namespace - requiring HTTPS could have a meaningful impact. Completely disagree that it's user-hostile — there are far fewer registration options in .com so opening up a new namespace gives users more flexibility in what they can register.
