But you can... which is what some engineers were thinking. In my experience they do this because:

A) they're afraid to ask for permission and would rather ask for forgiveness

B) management refused to provision extra infra to support the engineers need, but they needed to do this "one thing" anyways

C) security was lax and permissions were wide open so people just decided to take advantage of it to test a thing that then became a feature and so they kept it but "put it on the backlog" to refactor to something better later
