I'm a sysadmin and I have no idea what you're referring to. Yeah there are guys in my field who are happy to overreach in terms of data access, but I'm sure we can come up with some anecdotes about devs over-harvesting data on...virtually any modern online platform. Most of my colleagues (at least those I've met) tend to be conscientious about data access and privacy. I host several E2EE services for friends/family because I believe in privacy and data sovereignty. But if my company's legal department says "give access to <these guys>," as a sibling commenter said, if I refuse then I'm fired and those guys will still get access. So I do what legal says and keep my job, TYVM.
