Well, completely aside from the fact that "encrypt everything you can"
is a good default policy, providing a consistent user experience is a
good reason to make https the only access method. At very least, making
sure that if a user enters the site via https that they stay on https
(protocol-agnostic links/URLs).

A better question would be why would you not want to serve all the pages
via https? Please don't say "higher CPU usage" because the difference is
negligible on any modern system.
