It is such a great improvement that ISPs cannot eavesdrop us anymore... only for everyone to terminate TLS at cloudflare so they (and thus US government) can now eavesdrop everyone.

Ultimately, I find it likely that TLS will become a tool to prevent users from accessing foreign content (browsers stubbornly refusing to show untrusted sites in the name of security, slowly getting there), more than a tool to prevent eavesdropping on users secrets.

If you have a service that shares information between people all over the world, a few big companies and one government is for most cases an improvement over all the involved ISPs and all of their respective governments.
