I think any website that has a form to fill in should offer https.
In the past there were websites asking for user and password without offering
https.
I also think even a self-signed certificate is better tan no certificate at
all, but in the times of let'S encrypt setting up https shouldn't be a big
issue.
All my opinion...

If I am not misinterpreting, Mr. Biden's recent cyber security execute order [1] will put a weight on how data is transferred, at least in the US, at least for the agencies which will probably ripple itself to the ordinary user eventually.
Multiple mentions of "encryption for data at rest and in transit".
