Other than what the sibling posted, which is true, there's an extra round trip for the TLS handshake, which makes a real difference when you're on a horrible 3G connection in a poor country (thankfully HTTP 2.0 fixes a lot of this, but again - complexity). Infra will catch up hopefully but it is a pain point for those who are less well off.
