This is the number 1 reason to use macbooks instead of windows laptops at any job. Security compliance software is like a cancer on windows, macos has some of this kind of crap as well but is nowhere near as bad.
I work for a large, slow moving US company in traditional industry. Of course there is an exclusion list, and it contains a few commonly used dirs like “C:\dev” and so on. If that would change (or if the request years back to have company wide exclusions wouldn’t have been listened to), it’s the kind of thing I’d insta-quit a job over, even after 20 years.
So anecdotally (N=1) it’s not automatically horrible in US orgs.
Don't forget the enterprise market has a whole different threat model. Even though blanket exclusions are often used, a determined attacker will quickly figure out to dump their remote exploration tool in c:\dev .
