And they aren't all 'spy-on-your-employees'. For example, companies such as CloudFlare (for whom I work), Incapsula, Torbit, etc., provide various web security and performance-related services by acting as a reverse proxy and scrubbing HTTP/HTTPS connections. These services tend to be targeted at SMEs who are often less-than-technically-knowledable web site operators and those website owners will reject any solution that isn't transparent to their customers. While I can't speak for the others, CloudFlare's service is not in any way a "spy-on-your-employees" solution, rather it is a service in which website owners intentionally insert a MITM that helps them deal with various attacks (DDoS, blog spam, screen scrapers, etc).
