And the reason they suck is the feedback loop is just too high as compared to running it locally. You have to jump through hoops to debug/troubleshoot your code or any issues that you come across between your code and output of your code. And it's almost impossible to work on things when you have spotty internet.
I haven't worked on extremely sensitive data but for PII data from prod to dev, scrubbing is a good practice to follow. This will vary based on the project/team you're on of course.

The developers also lack knowledge about the environment; can't evolve the environment; can't test the environment for bugs; and invariably interfere with each other because it's never isolated well. And also, yes, it adds lag. Anyway, yes, working locally on false data that little resemblance to production still beats remote environments.
