You're saying that everyone able and willing to passively snoop, is also able and willing to compromise the channel and mimic the server?

Correct.
Then I don't see how that would be true. Mimicking a server requires significantly more effort that simply storing the traffic. So even if someone were able, it doesn't follow that they would want to go through that effort in every case.
