I believe the idea is that in the face of pervasive surveillance, one response is pervasive encryption. If we're going to go down the road of pervasive encryption, then we're going to need to make encryption as fool proof and transparent as possible. Forcing HTTPS may be one (minor) way to focus attention on making encryption easier.
