So, how much trouble are ISP-side proxies still giving today? Does anyone still bother?

Considering 99% of traffic is Netflix and YouTube, what’s the point? I’m pretty sure these companies will gladly put a cache box in your data center so your traffic is drastically lowered, without tricks that cause support calls.
For a while, some of the cheezier ISPs were inserting ads. One of the justifications for using HTTPS everywhere was to stop that. Have the proxy people given up?
