Privacy and security, as well as integrity and being shielded against attacks that take advantage of the lack of it is hardly being "worked up over nothing."
It's a matter that is baseline on practically all websites. I don't see why we should be any different.
Especially when we've come far enough that the world has awoken to the need of it enough, that there are indeed services like Let's Encrypt, whom will grant legitimate certificates, free of charge.
Whether you like it or not, SSL-certificates and HTTPS is the baseline by now, regardless of whether the site handles sensitive data, or our creative writing (and email addresses and passwords, ohay! Sensitive data!)
