That's a huge red flag when looking at the institution.

For you maybe, but that institution is still ranked high in national and international piss contests so I guess it doesnt matter for most people. I know many devs that work without having an admin or root access on their machines and stalking software on their phones, thats a red flag for me, but not for them apparently.
