Most users, yes. But even those who do care, and know a little about it, don't necessarily have any obvious path to verify which apps do/don't encrypt their traffic.

I'm a mobile app developer, and if I were downloading Tinder I am actually naïve enough that I would have presumed its network traffic would be. It just seems so matter of course to me that network requests written into any app being developed would just use HTTPS.
