Well, I can't get behind saying that hiding the site your visiting from your provider is the "whole point" of https when it specifically doesn't do that. I mean, we both understand what https is aiming to do in general, and I assume you aren't suggesting that https has been an complete failure since SNI was introduced.
However, admittedly I'm just reacting to you using the term "whole point" in conjunction with something it's failing to do.
I’m not suggesting https is a complete failure. I’m saying that HTTPS hasn’t yet achieved all that it intended to cover. It does the best it can given current real world constraints. That requires tradeoffs. But work is done to improve the situation and I’m generally happy for every feature that pushes the needle in the right direction.
