Sometimes classified leaks onto unclassified networks via human mistake, coincidence, or ignorance. I've literally seen classified PowerPoint slides marked unclassified due to ignorance. This situation requires security to confiscate all machines the data may have leaked to. |

But Microsoft generally supports policies for enforced disabling features like the one referenced in the post. Similarly, data exfiltration from managed to non-managed devices is an entire cottage industry. And generally that's why govt employees are expected to use separate, locked down devices where their compliance-obsessed (hopefully, but not always in practice) admin has total root.
And I don't believe you're implying this, but certainly I don't think it makes sense for companies to _not_ build internet/cloud-connected experiences and features just because there's a possibility that govt officials won't follow their own security policies and best practices.
