Supporting unencrypted connections does not imply that the client is required to use them.

Yes, which is why the reader should configure how they intend it to be and the document author should not prevent it from working how the reader intended.

In principle I agree on how the user agent should behave, in practice leaving viewport as default doesn't necessarily match what the user wants or what the developer wants. E.g. user zoom settings are still applied after the viewport scale setting, just now in a consistent way across mobile devices.
