> Am I supposed to trust them more than some man-in-the-middle just because they own a domain name?

You can be assured that you are actually talking to them. That's a big step up from not being able to do that.



Depends on the content of the website. A lot of websites wouldn't benefit at all from that assurance. A lot of blogs and random personal projects come to mind. My own blog does not care about authentication or MITM at all. It would be just an unnecessary complexity without any benefit.


It's not the websites that get that assurance. Maybe read up on it.


I do understand that.
