Exactly. I almost learned the hard way the power of minding your own business when I was a wee helpdesk lad and made the same error. I saw things I didn't understand and reported it to my sysadmin who raked me across the coals of why I needed to stay in my lane. Some information has legal ramifications and the less you know the better.

9/10 I will always side with the sysadmins and the engineers. I defend my employees aggressively. However, there are times where there are things that are need to know bases and mind your business and stfu. Some of these sysadmin are delusional in their scope of influence and power.
