This is far far from the worst that might (and does) happen. I think you severely underestimate the average dev's access to critical systems.
>but presumably all their remote access is 2FA protected
hahahahahaha
You also severely overestimate the security of most companies. A lot of F500s don't even use 2FA at all, let alone on something like CI/CD.

I have firsthand seen many cases where this isn't true at all. OTOH, I've never once heard of anyone catching a breach by using Little Snitch or anything close to it (though I'm not opposed to it at all as a good practice).
And in many cases, it has very little to do with "revoking keys" or any kind of remote access. Many people, whether they realize it or not, usually have some very valuable data just sitting in a csv file on their machine (I've encountered a large number of devs that have partial exports of customer databases stored locally on their machine that they were using for local testing). That type of stuff is easily lifted, no remote access required.
