Being resistant to surveillance is one valuable point, but right now, I think the even bigger issue is protecting from malicious code from being injected. ISPs started injecting ads into unencrypted web pages years ago, and now we have organized crime running ransomware and botnets who would happily inject things into unencrypted pages being browsed by less mature browsers. TOFU isn't a particularly strong protection, but every layer of the onion and all that.

That can be avoided much easier by using a hash/checksum no?
