I get where you're coming from and I want to agree with you but... While that used to be true, based upon recent history we, unfortunately, can't blindly trust HTTPS to always be "secure" 100% of the time anymore -- whether due to things like Heartbleed, fake certs signed by a root CA, protocol attacks, or some other vulnerability that hasn't even been discovered yet.
