            To some, convenience matters more than intangible benefits. This is not necessarily dumb.

                    Ok, that’s true. But what I’m saying is that you aren’t considering the value of convenience and user experience at all. It’s possible for those benefits to outweigh the downsides.

                    I would also argue that it’s “dumb and shortsighted” to not care about user experience, because then you lose the users and they go back to the unencrypted environmentally-disastrous service.
