That is, HTTPs should become assumed.

As much as that would be wonderful from a security standpoint, IMO
it's not realistic to expect every mom-and-pop posting a personal Web
site to pay extra for a static/dedicated IP address from their hosting
company (even if IPv6 were widely deployed, Web hosts probably would
charge extra for this just on principle), and to pay extra for an SSL
certificate, even a "weak" one that only verifies the domain name.

Self-signed certificates published thru DNSSEC using CAA/DANE can cost nothing.
(And somebody else pointed out SNI to have TLS work without exclusive
IP requirement)
