Claims without evidence. Most processors released in the past decade have some sort of cryptographic acceleration. Even before the likes of AES-NI there's been two decades of vectorized optimizations for encryption and hash algorithms. Sun among others released SSL accelerator expansion cards 20 years ago. The processing overhead for TLS is trivial anymore. You'd be hard pressed to find devices (in any market segment) sold in the past decade without some sort of acceleration or access to vector optimized code paths. The idea that HTTPS is using tons of extra power over exabytes of HDDs spinning up, inefficient microservice architectures, or poorly optimized code interpreted code is pretty laughable. But you've made bold claims. I'm sure you've got compelling evidence backed by extensive and reproducible testing.
