But that is exactly the point: in the world we are in right now, I DON'T have to trust the TLD operator to make sure my services are secure. Sure, there is a risk that the TLD operator will shut down my domain completely, but that is a different risk from the TLD operator MitM-ing my services.
If my CA misbehaves? I can use a different CA. Not trivial, but doable. What if my TLD operator misbehaves or TLD changes ownership (like the .org case a few years ago) - change my domain?
