You might feel Lebanon is a wonderful place but in the US people see things differently. The US supported the war against Lebanon five years ago.

Maybe someone went through a list of countries where they thought that https should be turned on by default, but accidentally turned it off instead? Hopefully, Microsoft will come clean on this and give a better explanation.

That is also a very plausible theory.
