I have a counter-perspective to provide:

Many of the points you've raised are moot outside of large corporate environments and projects.

It is likely that the commenter has root access to all of the things you mention and touches them on a daily basis. It is likely that they are not inundated with all of the heavy process you're bringing up. It is likely that all of the security concerns you raise are not even part of their current business. Working outside of set business hours is likely not a concern; overtime is likely uncompensated anyway and there probably aren't considerable office security protocols (they probably have keys and an access code for the whole office).

The points you've raised do not apply to most small development teams.

Yes, but both of these viewpoints are important, depending on the context.
