I work for a large, slow moving US company in traditional industry. Of course there is an exclusion list, and it contains a few commonly used dirs like “C:\dev” and so on. If that would change (or if the request years back to have company wide exclusions wouldn’t have been listened to), it’s the kind of thing I’d insta-quit a job over, even after 20 years.

So anecdotally (N=1) it’s not automatically horrible in US orgs.
