it's not trivial if we are talking about Linux boxes serving as servers let's encrypt has a good chance to not work out of the box, and especially with older boxes. and then there i are other things like needing a http server for obtaining the cert rotating it, distributing it.
and you loose the ability to use a proxy, and so on. with https you are still not protected with them knowi g where you get only what you did there.
it would be great to have the ability to have https but for APT in its current form and for what it is used the cost benefit for adding https is not that compelling to me.
