Inspecting network traffic is not a self invented regulation.

MITM of network traffic historically was the easiest way to monitor what goes in and out of ones network. It's still pretty easy. It's a corporate resource, the ethics aren't that bad.

People say to inspect the endpoint. I'm simply not sure the technology is there to inspect data destined to leave an endpoint in clear text. The next step would be for apps to encrypt data before they let the operating system know they want to send data outbound.

Then the next step is to only allow applications that comply with some sort of framework for content inspection prior to sending stuff over the network. I don't know if there's any thing like that currently.
