Is there really any benefit of this over just using HTTP?

What is the threat model in which an attacker could MitM your internal network?

I travel between networks with my phone and laptop. Software will ping out using whichever network I'm on, trying to connect to its backend. If I connect to hostile/compromised WiFi, those connections are at risk.
