A lot of companies do org-wide MITM CA keys, so just hitting one Barracuda box, stealing the CA key, etc. lets you attack all of that organization's users everywhere.
Generally if you're targeting a specific organization, that's what you care about, anyway. You're not hacking into random companies to build a botnet; you're going after a specific organization to gain some economic or intelligence/military benefit.
I don't know what important organizations use Barracuda, though. It's generally SME-focused. Might be some interesting law firms and other organizations with sensitive data belonging to larger organizations, though.
