It's not a question if its easy to do or not. Yes I prefer an encrypted connection over one that is not.

BUT! the point here is the op claims this is a shady practice to provide https to their paying customers.

A shady practice is if they take your personal information and sell it to another without telling you. Shady is when companies lie to their customers.

And this situation is not.

Fair enough. I don't think this is a "shady" practice either. But I think it's an old, out-dated practice to charge extra money for a feature that should be on by default.
