That argument fails when you consider that some people want the details of who they're talking to or asking about to be confidential, not merely authentic. That doesn't change the fact it's banned.
But ONLY for CAB/F regulated public CAs.
I'm a believer in the idea that SNI and the Certificate messages should happen under an ephemeral DH or ephemeral ECDH cover. Others fear-monger to say "maybe they shouldn't".There are a lot of other things that would also need addressing to make it secret /who/ you're talking to. It's not something https guarantees right now. If you'd like it to that would be a whole other discussion.
However wiretapping a few central non-https OCSP responders is one of the few attacks that will reveal this without wiretapping the actual connection.
