I kinda like this framing. It effectively classifies companies such as Zscaler and CloudFlare as monsters.

It's particularly funny because "monster-in-the-middle" appears to be a deliberately quirky marketing term invented by cloudflare.

		Fun fact: some older articles were originally written using the term man-in-the-middle, but at some point were updated... except that the diagrams still use man-in-the-middle because search-and-replace doesn't work on images.
