I'm not sure where you see me making that argument in this thread. I
simply recommended we move to require TLS for privacy-sensitive APIs.
And it still seems within the realm of possibility to do that for
geolocation and getUserMedia().

No, it's not at all like that. It's about tightening the requirements
for getting access to privacy-sensitive user data. All this is saying
is that if you want this user data, you need to deploy TLS on your
site. And that can be done for free although it is unfortunately still
a bit of a hassle. But guides have been created, communities have
collected pointers, and gradually it will spread through conferences
how to get this done.
