The indirect costs of switching to HTTPS (like lost advertisement revenue) make it a inviable solution
This doesn't entirely make sense. I'm sure it's possible to serve adverts on a HTTPS page, and let's encrypt is hardly expensive

Yes, you can, but you lose a tremendous amount of ad revenue and a number of ad providers still don't support HTTPS.
Too many ad buyers don't have https support, so the number of bidders for the ad space is lower, meaning a lower price per ad.
