I do find the idea of HTTPS as an option useful, beyond ACLs, from a privacy standpoint. Now that I think about it, I don't want everyone between me and DBpedia being able to find out exactly which resources I access, what sparql queries I write, what results I get etc. At this point we can be sure that all this is being logged by all kinds of agencies.
Remember, and Identifier doesn't have to resolve to information you don't want to share with the world. Unlike the real-world, in a Web of Linked Data medium for instance, you can have an identifier that resolves to nothing more than a document that has a public key used in a TLS handshake. We sometimes assume that Identity (verifiable or not) implies every piece of identifiable information about you, it doesn't mean that at all :-)
Thus, I can open up a service, require identity authentication (because I have quality of service partitioning in mind) and not know much about the data consumers. This is the kind of system that will ultimately enable the construction of viable and scalable business models around Linked Open Data.
We have a super-information-highway that's current lacking the following fundamental components:
1. highway code 2. toll booths.Today, we kind of have a potpourri of maps that get you from point to point on the assumption that the roads are delivered gratis, under all circumstances. Net effect, you end up have to be a Google++ to even consider operating a functional business model etc..

Are any plans to host DBpedia in HTTPS in the near future?In the context of DBpedia, what's the utility of HTTPS? I see HTTPS as useful at a time when crowd-sourcing DBpedia includes allowing SPARQL 1.1 based INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE access, since in that context, identity and access controls (ACLs) become vital. Whenever the project decides to add this kind of dimension, HTTPS will just work, since the functionality is already in place at the SPARQL endpoint level. Note, even in this ACL based scenario, HTTPS will simply enable verification of agent identity to the SPARQL endpoint, it won't change actual DBpedia entity URIs.
