Could this be implemented as a user-owned SSL mitm proxy and deep-packet inspection engine which is accessed by a VPN from all your interactive devices? Low-power home IoT devices would already be inside the VPN.

I think that's what the author was getting as with the iphone example... users installed their own root certificates to run a mitm on their device

The point they were making about embedded devices is that you can't update the certificate being used
