I can think of legitimate reasons for enterprises to MITM traffic. For example, protecting users against malware as a result of drive-by downloads or spear phishing campaigns. Data loss prevention is another good reason -- I would want an enterprise that I'm trusting with my credit card data to alert on payment instruments leaving their network to gmail accounts, for instance.

Data loss prevention is another good reason

In some regions, companies are legally required to ensure personal data is protected. It's against the law for them to not protect it.
