Plenty of websites out there being kept up by volunteers without hardware access, the original owner having died or otherwise gone MIA. It's not always possible to add https, particularly when the site owner died 10 years ago and someone has an 'agreement' with the hosting provider to keep a website up as a memorial. No, I don't have any specific examples right now, but anecdotally I occasionally come across a website that's been in such a read-only form for as long as a decade due to family members being willing to continue paying the $15/year hosting fee, but not having the technical knowledge, passwords, or interest to fix problems. Sometimes there's evidence of a partial upgrade (the search engine stopped working due to a php upgrade), or a forum that has been converted to a static site entirely (the login buttons don't work either). In any of these cases, getting LE working is almost certainly more trouble than it's worth for whoever is currently paying the fees.
