The management at Intel itself are also highly paranoid. They have been using "bossware" for over a decade before COVID. It's just known as a paranoid company.

Although, probably a lot of large corps aren't too different.

I experienced this 20 years ago when working on a collaborative project with engineers at Intel. They searched me on leaving the building every day. And this was just an office building, not a final assembly plant where it might be reasonable to want to look for theft of production units. It was like exiting Fry's. I made a mental note then never to work for Intel.
“Only the paranoid survive” is their motto, one of their early CEO even has an autobiography in that title
