I don’t know why you think general-purpose computers are incapable of
secure communication through the Internet. Where do you think such
secure communication got invented?

 
Of course they can connect right now, but as time goes on I am sure at
some point, general purpose computers will start being blocked.

I wonder how you think those sites are going to detect that your secure
connection is coming from a “general-purpose computer”, and block it.
