But it might be. Whenever you're doing software other than for purely internal use, you have a customer that gives you sensitive data which devs absolutely need access to - like requirements for the software you're building!

If you're handing customer data to the developers, it's basically already leaked. Most companies limit who can examine things and get customer sign off first.

Let me reiterate: unless you're doing purely internal tooling, everything about how the software you're making should look and work is essentially sensitive customer data.

Actual customer data leaking is generally a legal problem. Your source code leaking is not.
Yes, there are confidential data, but it shouldn't be any real customer data. Right?!? Frankly, given best practices from professional developers, stuff like cryptolockers just aren't an issue (blank the machines). Developers need admin, so building a network for them is actually a lot easier.
