OE does NOT protect against this. If you can read wifi packets you can write them and MITM. You're basically arguing that at the moment it's more likely that they are using a snooping package that doesn't MITM. Sorta like "use Mac/Linux cause there's no viruses/malware/keyloggers". If there's a shift to OE, then sniffing packages will provide plugins to MITM OE when possible.
So sure, turn on OE, it won't _hurt_ if we don't tell the users via UI that there's anything special going on. It's like a CRC check to prevent minor accidents.
