Comment:

 This seems to be for the "native" TinyMCE link modal which is not used in
 WP by default. I'm assuming it offers to add `http` only to URLs that were
 typed by hand and are presumed external as this is still the most common
 protocol. Most sites that are on `https` will happily redirect the user to
 it.

 Note that this has nothing to do with the site's protocol.

 Going to close this as worksforme as it seems the current behavior makes
 most sense. In any case it is part of TinyMCE and has to be changed
 upstream.
