They don't need to be, but it's become very impractical for users when a site doesn't use HTTPS.
Bad website practices combined with consumer confusion over what "secure" actually means has led some browser makers to just deny HTTP by default.

Even some home routers are coming preset to restrict HTTP traffic on the WAN (internet).
