I think your statement about Site Security and HTTPS is conflating two very different aspects of security to the point of being harmful to a less-informed reader.
I'd argue that HTTPS in no way increases your site's security (for some definition of security). Any expectation that is does is misinformed. What is does do is well documented by others such as Troy Hunt, so I'll link to that rather than poorly attempting to make the same point. Overall HTTPS is about the security of your visitors, not how hackable your own platform is.
It's certainly not dogma, but just good practice, and with the prevalence of services like CloudFlare and LetsEncrypt, the barrier to entry is pretty much zero now.
Cheers!
