Any idea why we do not have public, encrypted wifi? Seems like it should be easy / trivial to fix, and protects people from passive listeners.

Not OP, but there are some ideas like EAP-UNAUTH-TLS but it's not well (at all?) supported. Some details: https://lists.eff.org/pipermail/tech/2012-December/000333.ht...

Not sure what you mean by this. Https exists, no?

HTTP is not the only traffic on a network. DNS is rarely encrypted, and many email providers use STARTTLS, which starts unencrypted.

Sadly, https is pervasive but not universal.
