I am one who specifically does not want a resolution above 480p. Unfortunately, some TV services had decided to remove that feature and now it wastes disk space due to the higher resolution. I also want to be able to use an external caption decoder and recorder (in my case, the same device does both), so will use the composite video and not HDMI (which doesn't have captions).

Yes, it is reasonable. I think that "HTTPS only" is (mostly) no good, but having both is good. HSTS is no good.
