Privilege escalation on Windows is super easy though, every red teamer I know has a bunch of ready to use exploits (most of them public) up their sleeve. And it is virtually impossible to get a good baseline of a developer's machine, so I'm pretty sure every SOC out there is simply allowlisting huge swaths of your software. You can sorta kinda harden these systems, but that would only work against common malware. And you generally can't isolate senior engineers in their own little DMZ, so any RAT on their machines usually leads to catastrophic consequences.
