As someone who live in an country with no net-neutrality and government-mandated censorship, I'm glad https is everywhere now. My government requires all isp to intercept all dns requests and plain http requests to block access to banned domains. Not only that, the ISPs are doubling down by blocking domains of competing services (the ISP I use block netflix for years to promote their own streaming service, only unblocking it recently after netflix finally partner with them).
They also implement the blocking by intercepting http HOST header, so even if you somehow bypass their dns filtering, they can still got you if the censored site use plain http (they'll replace the response with a redirect to their censorship portal, which fully laden with ads). They also inject ads to any non-https page at least once every day. Thanks god for pihole and vpn (when I'm using mobile connection) I can still browse whatever I want.
