Getting certificates used to be annoying and cost money, so many, many websites just didn't bother. It used to be only bigger websites with multiple webmasters/ops people/developers supported https.
I don't have numbers to support this, but I think Letsencrypt and its related initiatives had an extremely significant impact on the amount of web traffic that is encrypted, resulting in a hugely safer and more secure experience for users and organizations around the world.

What a legacy. Rest in peace.
