You're right, Apple has follow Google Chrome path in its "HTTPS for all" quest.
Thing is, geolocation is a user personal data, so it is not something totally unfair or stupid move they did here. Note that LetsEncrypt offers free ssl certificates you can jnstall very easily on your server tru NPM, and shared hosting companies like OVH did install this free certificate for all its customers websites for free. Also, we (as developers) have been warned about this for at least a year now, and still can use this API while developing since this limitation does not occur on "localhost" domain name. A real PAI if you're not already on a https hosting service or do not maintain it, but all in all it's not such a bad thing for the user...
