That is an irrelevant detail. The comment you are responding to isn’t saying that https is foolproof. They are saying that it would help people to be more free of digital control if privacy respecting technology is so common that it isn’t suspicious when you use it.

I agree that it helps (though I'm probably more pessimistic about how much it helps). I wanted to counter the assertion that "There's no way it can be banned today, though" (which I should have quoted). Even a disconcertingly non-trivial number of western lawmakers make regular noises about requiring all encryption to be backdoored.
