Well here's one good reason:

tl;dr: If you use http, anyone can 'man in the middle' the connection and insert almost anything. And they do.

Hi to all, I've just heard about this initiative. It seems something positive but after a first thought I couldn't help asking: why? What is the purpose to secure a public connection on which no sensitive data flow? I've had some sporadic errors with Firefox when connecting to HTTPS sites because of expired certificates and I was only trying to connect to them coming from Google so to see their contents for the first time, which doesn't involve sending sensitive data that deserve encryption; so in those cases the useless HTTPS layer only prevented me from accessing the service.
I'm probably missing some point that makes this really interesting. Is it just a trend?
Regards. Luca
