Until HTTPS has something more trustworthy than the CA conglomerate
to distribute keys, it is no safer in any respect than plain HTTP.


You are wrong. https with all its problems is still safer. If I am browsing through Tor, any exit node operator can easily perform a MITM attack in case of http, which they generally can't do in case of https. In case of https he needs to be a state actor privy to the CA compromise.
