Official statement

If a homepage appears in HTTP but the sitelinks are in HTTPS despite correct canonicalization and 301 redirects in place for a long time, it may stem from an outdated URL in the Google My Business profile. It's important to verify and update the URL in GMB, as this can interfere with the display of URLs in search results.
