Yeah I know, and then there are the IOT devices. In my case though I
really do just have the PCs. I often take the remarkable decision to
fix things instead of replace them, which keeps my technology
stagnant in the first place, and I don't bother with Smartphones or
Smart TVs.

Hence the trouble with HTTPS in the first place. If I have a working
system that doesn't need to communicate securly, I want to keep using
it as-is. I don't want to upgrade this, which means upgrading that,
which means changing this, which means buying a new that, and so
on...
