You can't change anything without an alternative solution. Just saying "I am not playing doesn't" cut it. And if businesses are getting marked down by not being https, they'll go with whatever gives them the best Gobble ranking. I tend to believe the main thing was getting people off their own email systems that Gobble couldn't read, and on to their cloud infra, which they could. To do that they needed to try and convince people they were the good guys (we protect you from spying governments with https) whilst getting themselves a nice big data store. See some comments say by Paul Wouters on Libreswan lists as to Gobble and their attitude towards VPNs especially WRT the extremely poor level of VPN encryption in Android. "They expect you to use https, and not bother with VPNs" As you rightly say, all for Gobbles benefit. Shhheeeesssshhh - remember those days when they were the good guys?
