Because they cost time and money to implement and there is no incentive to avoid data breaches. This should be up to legislation, if we as a society actually care about privacy we need to give data privacy laws some teeth and start really enforcing them.

I’m sorry but sometimes it’s not money, it’s employees who are malevolently careless. Yes, you can spend huge sums of money locking up their computer so much that it would require 5 or 10 people to do the job of one because they only have a text editor, but we should also get into law that installing a remote desktop incurs liability on the employee side. I won’t say get the company off the hook, but employees are actively malevolent.
