Without TLS you can cache, with TLS you can not. Thus TLS changes the bandwidth constrains, and the kind of middlebox the data flow must be routed through to succeed. The middlebox-hostile stance you describe only results in middleboxes failing to make the correct decisions when relaying data, and web clients complaining that the brand new protocols they tried to smuggle through TLS tunnels fail right and left on the real Internet. Sometimes I wonder if they actually want their stuff to work, or just want to have someone to point the finger to. -- Nicolas Mailhot
