So https+private CA > stands secure. I think you're missing the point. It is a sad reality that SSL/TLS corporate (and ISP) MITM exists and is enforced on a larger scale than we'd like. But it is there, and when mandated/enforced you have to go through the MITM appliance, or not connect at all. Private CA's generally break those appliances - an unfortunate FreeBSD user in this situation is cut off.
