Both companies I've worked at previously employed zero trust networking. That means developer laptops don't have privileges to things like secrets management infrastructure or even feature flag config. You end up making a choice: mock services that require trust, which comes with its own set of dangerous tradeoffs, or build remotely in a trusted environment. Many devs choose the latter.
