Yes, that is exactly what I do. But Google, for instance, redirects me to HTTP, and if I've logged via HTTPS recently, I would have to log in once again via HTTP. It's very frustrating. Are there public statistics on HTTPS v. HTTP processed requests share for Wikimedia? Rough numbers?
For inexperienced users yet concerned about privacy, there should be an HTTP/HTTPS switch in the Preferences page. We have one at the registration/log-in page, but I'd like MediaWiki to remember that I want to use HTTPS only.

Can we enable full security mode (as an optional feature) geographically based on the most concerned governments, if the whole thing isn't going fast due to lack of resources?
No. That's in fact much, much harder.
There's nothing stopping you (and anyone else who is concerned about their privacy) from using HTTPS Everywhere. We support HTTPS natively as is right now.
