Organizations commonly have an internal PKI and internal-only systems are issued certificates by the organization's private CA (or a private intermediate). Any machine interoperating with those internal targets needs the private CA's root cert installed and trusted. | |

Employers, schools, etc... are completely willing to MITM your web traffic, but they will use euphemisms like "SSL inspection" to make it sound a little nicer. It's a major component of BlueCoat and ZScaler product lines, for example. | |
