That makes using https instead of http a lot less relevant.

https is important for preventing spying by anyone else in between you and the server. ISPs, coffee shop owners, schools, etc used to spy on http traffic to see what people were doing/searching for, and ISPs like xFinity injected code into non-https pages to show "important messages" to users, e.g. going over your bandwidth limit[0]. The only weak link now is Cloudflare, which is still "less secure than a direct conn…

And it's as much an issue with your browser if hitting back doesn't return the text. There are extensions to improve that behavior.

But what I find really interesting is that you seem to think being mad about an issue is a reason to break a completely unrelated rule?

Interesting. That's the first time I have run across this. Makes sense.

That does not make sense at all; it is batshit-crazy broken.

Indeed. WAFs need to die; they're basically all just doing https://thedailywtf.com/articles/Injection_Rejection>.
