What?

#2 and #5 exist only to support #7.

#4 usefulness is completely dependent on the context.

#9 is a joke, right? It's an anti-pattern for most of the web based SaaS applications, and poisonous to anything that isn't SaaS.

And #12... Try that in a large regulated company and people may quite as well end up in jail.

#2 is to improve quality, shorten feedback loops, and simplify merges. You get those benefits whether or not you're able to push things to your customer at will.

Both #2 and #5 really just set a quality bar high enough to reduce long-term maintenance costs. I don't see why you wouldn't want that in a non-web scenario.

#12 is not talking about deploying to production, and I don't see why you shouldn't be able to deploy to a dev environment from your machine. It's nice not to have to run everything locally. Even for non-EU companies.

So aside from #9 which is of questionable utility for any type of development, no, I'm not convinced you've pointed valid examples.
