Come on over to my place. I won't MITM you, I promise :). Or we could go down to the coffee shop down the street. They have free Wi-Fi there too. Or maybe you'd like to visit my favorite co-working space. How about a conference room at my corporate office? Or maybe I'm your friendly $DAY_JOB firewall guy with a hankering to read your email. Perhaps I am your crazy ex working for $ISP. Or maybe I am on the same public cloud as your server and my VM just happens to be hosted on the same physical box as yours. There are lots of ways to MITM a connection that don't require you to do Mission Impossible style of break ins to tap into the backbone.
