If so they are only insecure because malicious JS can be MITMed into them, and realistically speaking browsers can’t defend against malicious JS.

So let’s remove enabled-by-default JS permissions instead of removing HTTP-content. Most old websites don’t depend on JS and would in fact be just fine.
Even better: make JS opt-in only for HTTP websites, and let users like me refuse the “upgrade” to HTTPS.
