This has nothing to do with complexity or tooling.
Many people, including you, forget that TLS protects content from tampering. ISPs, captive portals, and other network entities are known for injecting ads or intercepting transmissions. Imagine your liability if a bad actor is injecting child porn on your site to a large portion of your audience. This isn't unheard of, by the way. Arguably less criminal, even Comcast is known for injecting content into pages.[1]
