This. If I want anything installed it requires survey from IT and Legal and can take months.

If it is Java or C# and already in-use, it is pretty simple. If I wanted to install a Go compiler, it could get complicated. Not having Admin rights really slows down an organization. Especially if you're someone who likes to use multiple technologies (right tool for the right job). IT hates that. Note that I don't write production tools, just things to get my job done quicker (automation scripts, data analysis...etc).
