Probably not a bad idea. Google used to be full of tech nerds but it gets more corporate and bland all the time.

Even in a company full of tech nerds you usually don't just hand out root access!
nobody should have root access other than senior admins.
You’ll have to pry my root access from my cold dead fingers!
jk…take it. I’d rather not have to worry about OS-level shenanigans anymore.
Not surprising Google can't handle tech security. I can't be bothered to look more into the report, but it sure sounds like they don't know tech. They're a marketing firm.
That honestly just sounds like they're going after more government contracts. Gov't compliance can sometimes require asinine security controls because they expect the users are the weakest link in every design. That can sometimes be true, but when folks are developing things you sometimes have to let them make foot guns or they can't build things.
Not just government. The security questionnaires from companies of all types I had to complete in my last job were insane. If you're sharing data between organizations in any way, infosec and legal departments get very uppity these days.
just need that one idiot to fall for obvious scam mails and your security is compromised
Then vote for Google. I just commented for the (non-)tech, not the politics.
Dev when he realizes he can't use stackoverflow: just leaves
Shouldn't use admin account/machine for general browsing the web. Have one machine to browse and development and another to connect to anything you want to protect from risk of attack
Enshitifcation of a corporation is a thing too.
