NSA is a good model for the attacker, but there are a lot of attackers that aren't NSA, ranging from nosy neighbors to local cops to criminals to foreign governments to big companies and their ethics-free contractors. Moving to TLS everywhere will make eavesdropping harder across the board, and will be more effective the more we apply additional defenses against mitm attacks.
