> HTTP has become the default, universal communication protocol

No, it has not. It is redirected to https.

I think thats implied. Https practically to users (and many clients and servers) is no different than http, even though they're very different in implementation.

except for encryption benefit, what difference these two has?

Same ol', same ol'.

HTTPS is HTTP over TLS/SSL. It is still HTTP.
