> Almost no one comprehends https either. Yet it seems to work well enough to protect people. HTTPS is notoriously difficult for users to understand. Most people don't even know what a server is. At least with emails you have analogies to do with sending paper letters to letterboxes that map pretty well. I think the big push for HTTPS from the last few years is in part because Google claim they now give you an SEO benefit from it, HTTP2 (i.e. for better performance) requires it and Google + Firefox show more scary user visible warnings than they used to for non-HTTPS sites.
