If a user manually imports a CA, it bypasses protections like CT [1]. This is a feature specifically designed to allow MITM for corporate proxies.

Always seemed like a misfeature to me, but all the browsers do it.

Sounds ridiculous that even when a site host specifically says they want things Stapled and CTd are ignored like that.
