While I don’t think people should bypass work restrictions either, I get the frustration. One job I was at had some setting forcing browsers to always close tabs on close and reopen the homepage on open which was the intranet landing page. It was a pain.
In some companies the restrictions are just knobs that were turned for the fun of it.
We do cloud native and they blocked WSL suddenly.
You can’t use Docker/Podman without WSL. So everyone had to bypass the restriction in order to be productive.

Sometimes it is done for compliance. It is all about the CYA (cover your ass)
