Timesheets, Security and Command and Control management has been a constant at every job I have worked. I have never heard of some one working on a job where these three things where not an issue.

The only time those things haven't been an issue is when I do charity work which isn't really work as I don't get paid for it, which I think is the only reason the charities take what they get and are happy with it as they have no other choice.

I was lucky enough to work in both types of places. Ones where the manager was hovering over me and literally micromanaging my every interaction. It was beyond maddening. But I also worked in places like now, where my output matters, but I have a lot of autonomy on how I get there.

Oddly, my most recent volunteer gig was very.. structured. It may not help that it is sponsored by corporate so maybe they started demanding a lot of data.
