It took two decades for the web to deprecate SSL for TLS and serve over HTTPS by default.

FWIW TLS had a non negligible impact on performances at scale. Hardware improvements made that irrelevant, eventually making the switch to HTTPS by default a no brainer (or at least that's what I vaguely remember from <2010)

  • We could say the same about virtualization, effective containerization, layered LLM calls, and other techniques currently being explored for effective sandboxing.

    • There is some performance impact but modern hardware make that pretty insignificant
