You actually do probably need your IT department to approve your use of Basecamp and Trello. It's very easy for project management and tracking tools to accommodate sensitive information like pending deals, new launches, or even PII. Your IT department probably isn't happy about rogue usage of external/third-party tools for storing data that they haven't properly tracked and can't wipeout or revoke if you quit.

Whether or not you choose to respect those needs, they very much still exist for all larger publicly traded companies.

Shadow IT will always be created when the existing system or IT group can't or won't support the users' needs (imagined or not).

A good rule of thumb is, if you think your <medium-to-large corporation> doesn't need Shadow IT, it means you're not already part of your company's Shadow IT circle.

I should say, those needs exist for all companies, it's just that the larger publicly traded ones have more to lose from e.g. a GDPR violation, data exfiltration/compromise or accidental leak of financially impactful data.
