Would it be better if your phished credentials were MITM'd by a third party scammer due to being sent in clear text instead of going directly to the original scammers? I for one don't think so.

Of all the recent high profile breaches, none would have been mitigated by HTTPS, or occurred anyway.

Let me clarify that I don’t object to encryption - I object to telling the user “this site is secure” when there is no way to know that
