TLS only says you're having a private conversation with a server, not how trustworthy it is. Maybe you're having a private conversation with the devil!
TLS protects you from active attacker at your internet cafe wifi or small ISP or not-tier1 country's ministry of propaganda.
If the network between multiple aws/gcp/azure regions where e.g. let's encrypt's acme servers are deployed and the server you're talking to is hijacked, TLS doesn't help because hijacker can get valid certificate.
