Any application that uses certificate pinning would fail in this situation as that's specifically what it is trying to prevent.

You "just" need the key to the encrypted traffic. You don't have to change the handshake/negotiation, you just want a copy of the key so you can decrypt the traffic.

In TLS, the client authenticates server, then they both agree to use a key for the session; the OS can get a hold of this key (this is usually a bad move because then any captured traffic frames could be later decrypted).
