You misunderstood my point. It is not about http vs. https.
What bothers me is that "downloading packages from CRAN" is considered
so important by R that it refuses to build when that functionality is
not available. Regardless of how important pip is to Python, it is still
possible to run Python without pip. And it should be like this: the core
functionality should be separated from the package manager.
