Why are you confusing https encryption with private vs publicly available information?
Let's unpack your concepts a bit using COVID-19 as an example[0]. The information that Wikipedia displays about COVID-19 is public information instead of top-secret classified files. But you'll notice that wikipedia serves its pages as "https". Think about why they do that.
Even if you manually type "http" without the "s" in your web browser url bar[1], Wikipedia will still redirect you to "https". Why do they do that if COVID is public information?
As a web surfer, I also want wikipedia to serve its pages with "https". Think about why I would want that.
