This is misleading. In order to read traffic you would need to swap out the end-entity TLS certs being used. Phones and browsers (at a minimum) enforce certificate transparency, so connections would fail.

But the point of the OP is that git, curl, pip, python, etc don't use certificate transparency. That's why it's so egregious that apple still trusts these certs by default in these non-browser edge cases.
