HTTPS is pretty much ubiquitous these days.

It never used to be, though. The same will happen with ECH/ESNI eventually, especially if browsers push for it like they did with TLS.

Yeah, especially before Let's Encrypt recently it was a complete disaster. Definitely will be better support for ECH soon.

Cloudflare helped quite a bit too, although I wouldn't call that "true" TLS as part of the connection was unencrypted. In the old Cloudflare days before Let's Encrypt existed and before Cloudflare had their self signed origin certs, often the connection between the end user and Cloudflare was encrypted, but the connection from Cloudflare to the origin server wasn't. People were celebrating Cloudflare as a way to easily add TLS to a site, but in the background it was still plain text!
