I was once asked to install surveillance software on my personal PC, as a remote freelance worker. The person responsible on Slack told me "let me know when you've installed it". So I decided to just wait 15 minutes and then say "yeah I installed it" to see if they would notice that I didn't... and they didn't, they just said "OK, thanks" and I never heard anything about it ever again.

I realize this doesn't really help this conversation but that's all I can think of whenever this kind of subject comes up.

I've had the IT department complain that the phone monitoring software wasn't reporting back to them, gave me instructions to fix it, and when I told them that the instructions point to things that don't exist in the app, they never replied back to me. I presume that my work phone is still not pinging them.

Makes sense. The dude probably didn't care about the software. He was just trying to check an item off of his task list for the day.
