I would guess that PCs in banks are quite locked down, maybe even making it impossible to remap keys. But everyone can pop some keys from his/her keyboard. Plus it's a much easier (and fun) office mod than messing around in the settings of all your applications ;)

Correct – even for developers in DMZ networks have a hard time getting to install things they need to work. Many organizations have convoluted processes for requesting admin access to your machine. Even if you do get access it doesn't mean you necessarily can even download things, most have firewalls that block binaries from anything but "trusted" sources (basically white listed domains, so yeah – "trust".) In a few cases, monitoring on machines have raised red flags and I've had to explain after the fact why I've installed or run a particular piece of software, and in some cases got a proverbial wrist slap and things/access reset. It's all for good reasons I'm sure, but some processes and rules are so opaque and convoluted and arbitrary, plucking keys off a keyboard is much easier.
