I think that HTTPS is not itself the problem, but rather the problem is that they are trying to force everyone to use HTTPS. A website probably cannot aim to support every browser in existence, although supporting Lynx is a good start. You can also use plain text formats and other protocols (e.g. NNTP, Telnet/SSH, Gopher, etc) too. The websites that don't support so many browsers, often have other problems too such as being slow and wasting memory, etc.
