So the tl;dr I'm getting from this is that

I haven't found any documentation on how or why AT&T is actually doing this, so it's all either very old or they've scrubbed it from the internet (I know they deleted their whole forums, and it seems like some of the discussion was formerly there)
If you google the term “middlebox”, you will see a lot of research on it from 10 years ago. It was a hot topic of academic and commercial pursuit, but time has proven it is boring for both
