I don’t think morals factor in to the decision to allow / disallow traffic on a private network. That’s definitely morally neutral and to suggest otherwise is immoral.



I didn't mean private networks. I meant the ISPs that do that.


ISPs are also private networks, unless operated by a government entity. And I would absolutely uphold the same expectation from an ISP as an organizational or personal network.

No. ISPs provide internet service to customers who pay them for it. The entire situation is different. The ISPs are under no obligation to break and inspect encrypted traffic. Owners and operators of home and corporate networks have an entirely different(and justifiable) set of concerns.
