this is just a flat-out lie. yes, modern browsers will stilll load websites over http. come on.
Direct sites will load with a "Not Secure" warning, includes on the site might not load without chrome://settings/content/insecureContent
And of course: you won't manage to be visible to Google itself, as you'll be down-ranked for not having TLS.
If you happen to have a .dev domain: you're on the HSTS Preload list, so your site literally won't load.
You’ll be visible to Google (otherwise there would be nothing to downrank), you will just be less visible on Google.
And you, the owner, will likely be to blame by the user.
If you can call them a first world ISP ;)
