And what do you thing HTTPS does exactly? Whe the web was HTTP sure VPN's had a point as people on public wifi could sniff your trafic. Now they can't.

    It only encrypts the data within the HTTPS packet. But where that packet is going is still transparent.

    It also doesn't do anything for non web traffic. Email through SMTP or IMAP, FTP, lots of things don't use HTTP at all.
