it is also relevant for security (in depth).

Interesting point. However, I investigated a little further and I'm
afraid we're not able to switch to https, since we can't guarantee users
won't run into other issues.
download.opensuse.org is just a CDN, and the mirrors you can get
redirected to may not support https, which would result in errors such
as [open-build-service#7830]
With OBS, there's an even bigger issue that actualy motivated us to
create the knot-resolver-release package - it's even the signing keys,
that they deliver through http! [open-build-service#449] However, this
was mainly an issue for RPM-based distros, where the [repofile] had a
signing key served over http, due to the same issue as above.
With the knot-resolver-release package, we can at least deliver the
singing keys securely, when you install that package over https from
secure.nic.cz
