Good point, but embedded systems don't generally act as an agent for a user to browse the internet. Their endpoints tend to be known API's. You wouldn't use DuckDuckGo from an embedded device like that until you reach the level of a full-fledged modern OS with an up-to-date browser (e.g., Linux running on a Raspberry Pi). It would be meaningless too, because even if you could use a search engine without HTTPS, almost all of its linked results will require it.
The internet can be used without HTTPS, but you can't expect to browse common websites without it.
