There is more to it than that. How do you know the URL you typed is really the URL for the site you want? You could make a typo. You could have made a mistake such as mixing up two company names when looking up the URL in the first place. You also might not be working on protecting the weaklest leak. I don't think that traffic sniffing on the network is a big threat unless you are a target of a national law enforcement or intelligence agency. You are more likely to be compromised at one of the end points.
