You are right about it but note that squid is a tiny service which
allows and provides cache.
There are many places which a proxy on a mainframe is there to help
enforce couple policies and allowing access to resources that otherwise
cannot be accessed.
So for a 40+- CPUs\cores(real) system that can let more then 100 people
have a nice desktop with good performance for work purposes (no videos).

So indeed in many cases the proxy admin is the only one that works on it
but this is not the whole world.
