Oh, I've absolutely seen similar, and I don't doubt it's extremely commonplace.

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.
