All of these proposals are in fact the same thing. They're designed to obfuscate, complexify, and over-engineer the Internet to fuck people over. I don't care if my Magic the Gathering fan site has an auto-rotated 3 month expiry TLS certificate to "protect" the users. Those of us who have been online before the 21st Century see this exactly for what it is. A cash grab and a increasing mechanisms to tighten the screws of monopolies like AWS, Google, Apple, and Microsoft, and to lock down our devices and the web into a walled garden that only the tech giants can control.

You don't based on your threat model. Other people have other threat models. I don't want potentially tampered/malicious content/JavaScript hitting my browser, I can also simply not visit your site. Such a simplification can not be made on the wide (and hostile) web. TLS is trivial enough to be the norm.

We can also draw parallels with food safety. Feel free to cook whatever you wish however you wish at your own home. If you want to offer it to people passing by on the street you have to follow food safety rules.
