There are _many_ sites where this is not important. I want HTTPS for my bank, but I couldn't care less if someone wants to spend the time and effort to intercept and change pages from a blog I read.

I do not understand why so many people think having, say, zero-day exploits served to them is not a problem. The blog is not the target; the unsecured connection is. Approximately nobody is taking the time to hand craft a specific modification of some random blog. They develop and use tools that manipulate any packet streams which allow tampering, without the slightest concern for how (un-)important the source of those packets is.
