I guess it's not convenient to have Microsoft and Apple scan your company images and employee emails. Even take screenshots automatically if they can get away with it.

Appearently other countries are fine with this, which surprises me much more.

I guess the corpo version of windows have these sort of things turned off? But ms can turn them on whenever they want.

This is specifically about software developer for the government. Microsoft office is then not included.
