MODERATORS
It has nothing to do with integrity and everything to do with them forcing content upon you which you have explicitly chosen to exclude. Additionally , this will likely be the final nail in the coffin for small webmasters. You won't be able to spin up a little passion project anymore and have it visible by the rest of the world unless you understand the complex requirements for implementing the new system. Mandatory SSL already hurt a bunch of small businesses and bloggers, and that was relatively easy to solve if you threw more money at the problem. This would kill the open internet.
You don't even need money, LetsEncrypt works fine for SSL on smaller sites
