I would also enjoy the conspiracies that this model would create.

I disagree. I trust public CAs for web browsing. I trust my company CAs for company email.

The reverse of this is not true.

TBH, we should have certificate stores for each application. In a perfect world, I should install my bank's certificate as a trusted certificate, and distrust Thawte, Verisign, etc when visiting mybank.com. But alas, that is hard.
