That's pretty much my point, there is no reason to meddle with the contents here. It's different if you live in a country where your ISP automatically MiTMs you

That's pretty much my point, there is no reason to meddle with the contents here. It's different if you live in a country where your ISP automatically MiTMs you (as a sibling comment to yours pointed out), but that's not a thing here at least. If you know that's a threat and it bothers you, you would likely already have measures in place anyway?
But I admit it's a valid reason to have https.
