Filtering proxies on the other end. A lot of corporate networks already MITM all traffic so they can block, monitor, and rewrite; and ironically that has been much-maligned by those working for Big Browser, ostensibly for "security" reasons. Ditto for the DoH advocates.
I've been running a filtering proxy on my network since the turn of the century. This was somewhat common in the past, then waned as browsers started growing extension functionality (one wonders if growing, and then now heavily restricting, extensions was a way to discourage proxying) but I suspect it'll become more popular in the future too.

...and the fact that TLS fingerprinting is now a thing, and you'll be easily considered a "bot" by many sites if you MITM your own traffic, shows what their real intentions are.
