I'm not making a logic point, I'm stating how things are moving now, from
direct experience. People have been blindly pushing for https everywhere those
past years without handling the pain points this caused to corporations, and
as a results lots of proxy providers are getting fat sums to break this
encryption now

(and btw browsers and google are not the only ones to blame, vendors like
Citrix that have told IT it could just tunnel citrix through https and network
admins would be none the wiser helped quite a lot too)
