I would agree with you if this was just a list of people who think HTTP is good enough.
If you read the article it's not "HTTP is good enough" it's "HTTPS is too slow" or "HTTPS is a plot by Google to take over the web" or fundamentally misunderstanding the value proposition of HTTPS or straight up lying about what it does.
Anti-vaxxers is absolutely a valid comparison here, the people in this blog aren't just not using HTTPS, they're actively encouraging people in their capacity as professionals to avoid using it, for really dumb and dangerous reasons that don't stand up to even the slightest scrutiny.
