Please stop bashing on things you don't understand. This is standard practice for workload authentication in corporate fleets. The article makes the target audience clear:

Why make the assumption they don't understand? I understand how this tech works and I'm very wary about it being rolled out widely, even if I see the legitimate uses, so I can understand their point. It might not have to do with 'bashing things one doesn't understand'

For example mutual TLS enforcement is something that can happen on my phone to prevent me reading what an app is uploading. It prevents me from auditing things, at least as easily as it used to be: add your key to the trusted keys list and see if e.g. a claim about on-device processing is true. It isn't only the corporate world that uses it, or at least, not only on their own devices
