Well, some 'firewalls' also cache web data. Defense in depth strategies
tend to limit the amount of services provided by any one device. And
personalised browsing, with some users have ads filtered, some not and
that sort of thing can be quite compute intensive - not a good thing for
a firewall.
IMO caching will *always* have a part to part. Nearly every aspect of
computing uses a cache of some sort to get the performance we have
today. Even something as basic as TCP's dynamic window sizing requires a
'cache' of sorts.
Lastly, until end user browsers start to share their public cache
contents on their local nets in a heterogenous fashion, centralised
caches will always be able to improve user experience by reducing the
average round trip time.
