It's the end result of outsourcing and "zero trust".

No one really trusts the Indian outsourcer with their internal systems. But they sure are cheaper, so the risks get mitigated by micromanaging and recording access to everything.

This then spreads to all employees, even those with skin in the game, and then nobody is productive any more. Not just the contractors.
