Canvas is delivered via https and most external tools get embedded within or transfer data between systems. In most cases if content on a web site has both secure (https) and non-secure (http) content on it, the browser will complain about the site not being secure and sometimes block the content. Canvas needs to protect student data and allowing the non-secure content to intermingle with the secure Canvas pages could cause issues that some schools would not really care for.
