Are proxies even relevant anymore with HTTPS? The only two scenarios I can imagine are reverse proxies at the server's side (which the server controls), and corporate MITMing firewalls (which I personally think are the plaugue and don't belong in 2021).

A lot of people people use CDN's like cloudflare that MITM your HTTPS to provide geographically based caching (and some other features). That's basically a proxy layer.

I don't like it, but it is very common.
