Is there any reasonable security reason for an administrator to prevent modification of locally loaded websites?

As most people know, it is very easy to modify a webpage’s local cached content (HTML, JS) through Inspect Element or various other means.

This could be probably be stopped through something like dynamically rendered AJAX content on a page that frequently refreshes automatically.

But is there any (reasonable) security related reason to for an administrator/ group policy to prevent this?

One reason that might be reasonable is to mitigate some specific phishing risks.

And another big factor is that there are browser extension tools that can permanently locally keep these changes, so if two people shared the same computer user one could perform phishing on the other.
