To create more https traffic. If you only encrypt important things then if it is encrypted them it must be important. An attacker now knows that every piece of encrypted traffic is a high value crack. On the other hand if random things are encrypted then important traffic is lost in the sea of random unimportant things. This hides important traffic. An attacker may spend cpu years cracking something only to find that it is an unimportant random page on a wiki. Using https on random things gives important traffic a forest of trees to hide in. Bob
