Compliance. Big financial orgs. and the like must show that they are doing something about "data loss" and this, sadly, is the easiest way to do that.
There's money in it if you can show them a better way.

With anti-security policies that: break TLS, thwart certificate pinning, encourage users to ignore certificate errors, expand the attack surface, increase data leak risks, etc. All while wasting resources and money.
Zscaler and its ilk have conned the IT world. Much like Crowdstrike did before it broke the airlines.
Not to mention:
> We only use data or metadata that does not contain customer or personal data for AI model training.
How reassuring.

Big emphasis on the "show you're doing something" part: actually being effective isn't a requirement.
