It's an interesting write up. But I don't think it's valid for one reason, company devices often require a company certificate to be fully trusted so that the company firewall can inspect all traffic transiting it.

So there must be a mechanism that allows corporately managed Android devices to adhere to corporate firewall policies.

Not just corporate, there's some countries that require you to install their certificate before you can use the internet.

I'd imagine in both cases you'd have to play nicely with google for them to push your certificates to the devices for you and/or give you tools to do so.

IE still available for those with power/money, but any regular citizen can go hump a cactus.

There's far too many corporations out there for that to be the case. It would cost them far more in managing that controlled access than they could possibly gain from whatever control they're trying to exert here
