I think there's a misplaced assumption here, that you should trust a network to keep your traffic safe.

it's reasonable to think that regardless of their SSL implementation, you should assume that the network owner is going to try and spy on your traffic and sell it to the highest bidder

I don't see what part of that means the network operator shouldn't do their best to try to keep it safe.

The cellular network being totally insecure is much worse than passive surveillance. Calls and texts can be rerouted and altered in transit, and mobile identities (eg: your SIM) can be impersonated on a whim.
