"HTTPS Everywhere!" means "Heartbleed-like bugs everywhere".

That's a silly argument. Here is how I will rephrase it: don't use computer because computer software always has bugs. Millions of servers run on all variants of Linux distro and every month we find a dozen of security vulnerabilities. Even standards have bugs and unresolved items.

Most of which only apply if you have local untrusted users or are running particular software.

You can give up if you like, but I still believe it's possible to set up secure systems.
