It is not the "thing to do for gmail" but generally the thing to do.
It's what most people do, for example, when using their browsers.
There is no 'small security risk' introduced by doing this, apart
from the inherent risk (if any) of relying on certificates in general.
I don't know where you come up with your summary.
