>This is absolutely not the case. Home/work routers are often monitored by suspicious spouses, annoying housemates or intrusive companies. It's very rare that one of these has the resources to develop their own exploits against HTTPS
I didn't say against, I said around. And your hypotheticals are good examples of that. If we are giving our bad actor physical access to devices in the house there are a lot easier/more effective attacks than a MITM on the router. Keyloggers, spy software, webcams, etc. are simpler and more effective tools. If they're sophisticated enough to do a believable MITM attack they can do all these other attacks as well.

This isn't true. All of these attacks are pretty hard to run against mobile devices unless you can install something on them. > a believable MITM attack This makes me think you don't actually know what a MITM attack is. MITM attacks are dangerous because they are invisible - ie, "believable" is implied by it being a MITM attack.
