The goal of Google behind this, to make the progress of one of the factors that can keep the Internet safe accessible to virtually everyone.
Rutledge Chin Feman and Tim Willis, HTTPS evangelists at Google, said that
"Our aim with this project is to hold ourselves accountable and encourage others to encrypt so we can make the web even safer for everyone"
As it was mentioned in the report that 95.5 percent of unencrypted traffic is from mobile devices, so it means that the remaining 4.5 percent is from desktop devices.
But this statistics is not fixed it can change any time.
Google also said that "Unfortunately, these devices may no longer be updated and may never support encryption, but they doesn't tell anything about the Operating System and the contributed devices too"
