My point was that if it's a website that doesn't take payments or any personal info then it doesn't really matter if it's HTTPS or not; not that TLS or HTTPS has no use case in absolute.

I guess a better way to rephrase would be, if you go to a random GitHub issue and post your credit card number + details publicly, would it matter if you posted them over HTTP or HTTPS?
