You mean if Chrome, like MSIE in the old days, had huge dialog windows with lots of text, which users learned to instinctively ignore and click away... This would somehow play out differently now than it did back then.
It wont.
I'm guessing lots of "lazy"/over-burdoned sysadmins will just disable HTTPS to make the Chrome-users shut up, and then he will forget about it, leaving the site HTTP-only.
And when Google starts penalizing their page in rankings because it's plaintext only? The sysadmins will hear about that from their bosses when visits drop.
