The main problem is that most of web content it HTTPS, which means it's
hardly cacheable outside of web browsers.

with https, proxy only sees stream of encrypted data:
the "s" in https means "secure" so no third party sees your data.

caching it requires decrypting of the connection, which means doing
man-in-the-mittle attack.  It requires private certififacion authority
installed on squid and in the browser, and for some domains using CAA
browsers will still complain, or you'll have to fake DNS CAA records, which
is harder with when using DNSSES, DoT or DoH.
