Why?

SSL doesn't really change anything with respect to the problem at hand, unless you think that the account was compromised because someone sniffed the PW from a session at one point, and that is a longshot.

Yes, using SSL is theoretically better, but it doesn't really address the situation at hand, I don't think.

To the OP, I doubt you will ever find anyone at google to actually answer that question for you. Sorry.
