That might be true in retail, but it wasn't anywhere close to true in AWS. When I left most engineers still had SSH access to the production hosts (and a not-insignificant portion of operations relied on that fact).

Leaving aside the question of what SSH access looks like today versus whenever you left...

There are many easy mechanisms to audit and monitor SSH sessions. So... no?

They weren't audited at the time (nor was there a standardised way of doing so).
