The problem is also that since it has been possible for 20 years a lot of  
systems depend on it. TLS has been widely implemented and deployed, but  
not widely adopted until recently, which is causing consternation. While  
it is mostly services that just stops working (mobile payment, top up  
interstitials, etc), some are more subtle, like indiscriminate throttling  
of TLS traffic during congestion, since correct QoS can't be assigned  
based on DPI.
