Well it's a clue as to RAI that in social interaction rules they are always described as PCs influencing NPCs.
You have exactly zero proof of this intent. And actually the RAW goes the other way:
- Insight: "Your Wisdom (Insight) check decides whether you can determine the true intentions of a creature, such as when searching out a lie or predicting someone’s next move."
- Deception: "Your Charisma (Deception) check determines whether you can convincingly hide the truth, either verbally or through your actions."
- Contests: "Sometimes one character's or monster's efforts are directly opposed to another's."
- DMG: "Wisdom Perceptiveness and willpower Spot a hidden creature, sense that someone is lying"
- DMG: "Charisma Social influence and confidence Persuade a creature to do something, cow a crowd, lie to someone convincingly"
So, extremely clearly, the game expects a PC to be able to use his insight to detect the lie told by the deception of a monster/NPC, therefore Charisma checks can be used vs. PCs.
