Its a economic war. Sitting on the switch and sniffing cleartext is easy and cheap. Compromising every enduser point and the aggregating all the data is much, much harder. More risk of detection, less reliablity and it needs constant uptake because of software and hardware updates. The NSA is not able to do this at the moment and they do everything they can to avoid having to do it thatway. Keep with the words of Snowden "Secure crypto properly developed", if we can make that happen we can increase worrying about end user devices. -Prio 1: Secure Crypt -Prio 2: Good secure, crypto code -Prio 3: Secure Enduser devices
