True, 'tis only an example. Some rooted phonesmight be using 3rd party apps not on the Play Store that doesn't go through SSL. Not really sure how that works, I haven't rooted my phone. Also, I am assuming apps can make standard HTTP requests if they want to other external services, so an app that has access to your sensitive data might transmit it to home base non-securely. Hopefully this never actually happens, but given all the junior-made apps out there, some security holes like that probably exist.
