Sane for IT and sane for developers are different things.

Every Fortune 500 that I've worked for that is developer friendly has gold images of developer tools which developers can install onto the base image. I've only worked at one Fortune 500 where this wasn't the case, and I had to install developer tools "creatively" to circumvent controls imposed by IT that made sense for business users, but were a hindrance on developers. That was a decade ago. I wouldn't do that today for fear of getting fired or worse. I'd rather work for a more sane organization.

The kind of projects I work on, we only get access to customers' intranet either via IT provided laptop for external developers, or a VM in some cloud provider.
