We are talking about an employee who has access to the customers personal information as part of their job doing something unethical.

I would be extremely surprised if Vercel didn't have industry systems and practices in place for security.

This is an edge case which can only be avoided by building Google-esque systems and practices. I don't think you guys really understand what your asking for here.

This will cripple them in so many ways, it makes so much more sense delay it as long as possible. Not because they can save a bit of money, but because they UX will fall of a cliff, feature velocity will ground to a halt and the product will drift further away from stuff we really want.
