Wow Seriously? You don't say.
Seems the irony escaped you: announcement was made on a Google site that forces (i.e redirects from HTTPS) you to read it over HTTP.
If you read closely enough it refers to all of Google, not just "the search engine team" or (Google - Blogspot).
Btw, I agree with you, and I think this phenomenon is dumb.
