This is about the known bad actor NSA forcing through their own special version of a crypto building block they might downgrade-attack me to.
I pay like 1% overhead to also do ecc, and the renegotiation to the non-hybrid costs 2x and a round-trip extra. This makes no sense apart from downgrade attacks.
If it turns out ecc is completely broken, we can add the PQ only suite then.
