There's no need:

https://info.phishlabs.com/blog/quarter-phishing-attacks-hosted-https-domains

In particular, "the rate at which phishing sites are hosted on HTTPS pages is
rising significantly faster than overall HTTPS adoption".

It's like SPF and site security seals, adoption by spammers and crooks was
ahead of adoption by legit users because the bad guys have more need of a
signalling mechanism like that than anyone else.
