No one is trying to go that far down the path.
https (specifically the CA chain of trust) is imperfect, and can be compromised by well-placed parties.
Well yes, CAs and the ICANN model of DNS are intertwined and fundamentally broken in multiple ways. However the system as a whole is largely "good enough" as can be seen from its broad success under highly adversarial conditions in the real world.
