If you type a bank password without checking that it's an encrypted connection you might be in trouble. Pretty sure strict transport would stop that though. The main reason seems to just be that some people care about the fact they can see what servers you connect to and what your MAC is, and that people don't always check whether things are encrypted, combined with the historical fact that there used to be plenty of important things that weren't encrypted. Now there's only a few.
