What a perfect way to describe the situation.

Imagine an enterprise disallowing all VCS service providers -- whether hosted on-prem or cloud -- because they use SSH instead of HTTP.

You think you're joking but I've lived through exactly that. Reason: SSH cannot be examined by a HTTP proxy. The moment we raised that HTTP CONNECT is a TCP passthrough thus equivalent we got to install a bespoke root certificate on our machines for the proxy to MITM every single connection.

Yep. Sounds like a common-enough pattern then. (I wasn't joking in my post).
