In the US, document discovery for litigation typically falls on the defendant. So a company that's being sued is required under the law to produce relevant business records and communications. If it's hard to access such "documents" en masse and export them for legal review, then businesses which must deal with nontrivial litigation requirements (the threshold is often right around the $1B/annual revenue mark) will not use the system. In the EU, things are a bit different and employees have a limited right to privacy when using corporate systems. Not so much in the US, though.
