These are worse than useless. They are anti safety. If this box or its private keys get compromised ALL tls traffic of all employees is immediately plaintext.

That sort of thing is required for a lot of enterprise certifications. When you do work for government, healthcare, banking, etc. stupid "security" is mandatory for checking off compliance requirements. Not that any of it has to be in any way effective...
