I'll concede that "meaningless" is not the best way to "word" my POV, so I shall expand a bit.
My POV remains - SSL "security" is MEANINGLESS and should NOT be "relied upon" to indicate your level of "secureness".
Fake websites know how to "appear" secure -- https://www.semrush.com/blog/https-a-modern-false-sense-of-security/
YOU the USER must learn how to be "net savvy".
If you click on a link that says the website needs to "verify your identity" and you do so because you see a "green padlock" - SHAME ON YOU.
If you clicked a link from an unknown sender in an email and the link takes you to a "green padlock" that says to click here to "unsubscribe" - SHAME ON YOU.
If a web browser popup claims they detected a virus on your computer, click here to run a full scan and you see a "green padlock" - SHAME ON YOU.
If you can't spot the difference between your browser's "auto-update" dialog and a web page with a "green padlock" saying your brower needs updated - SHAME ON YOU.
Et cetera...
