They started realizing this when HTTPS was becoming common thanks to Let’s Encrypt and slowly started removing any greenness and “Secure” label from the URL bar in favor of doing the opposite: marking insecure websites in red. This last change is obvious and needed but was probably left as a last step because people have been taught to look for it at some point. Glad to see it gone, even just ‘cause Safari puts it in the middle of the URL bar and I keep clicking on it by mistake. Hopefully they’ll drop it to by 2024
