There's a difference between preferring https vs http and pulling http support entirely. There's many devices that will never get https, upgrades or certificates.I can see this point in the abstract.

I agree that there are many devices that have http servers that will never get https etc. So it's very unfortunate that browser vendors are planning to deprecate http support, and I predict this will be extremely disruptive and harmful if it's carried out.
But I don't think that specific concern is relevant to the
question about whether IETF should deprecate FTP or even HTTP [no
s] services for IETF. The appliances that have built-in http
servers won't affect IETF's servers.
