Almost everything is over https now, and with it, the wifi network security doesn't matter much.

But web browsing is the vast majority of network usage now. The only big exception I can think of that don't go through standard HTTP/HTTPS rails is email. And even then desktop email clients are pretty rare now and they're pretty universally encrypted now.

No, but HTTPS isn't only browsing the web either. Very little that the average person will do on the go doesn't use TLS (or other effective encryption) in some form.
