I also found this out only relatively recently. However, I think you were about to make a valid point. Not everything that indexes the web is going to be happy with HTTPS. As well as general purpose search engines, there are many more specialist services. Examples of these would be comparison websites that either spider a very limited portion of the web or use real-time site scraping. I’m not saying that this should prohibit the greater use of encryption, just that it’s something that needs to be born in mind.
