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.

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.
