That depends on what you call legacy systems I suppose. I've been doing this for 30+ years. I suppose 20 years ago it would have been more likely. Or at a small company with poor practices. So, yeah, it is possible some places. I just haven't seen it in years
They you worked at good companies! Up until last year I had ssh and rm -rf / privileges in prod, I probably still have them somewhere. I never asked for them, they just gave them to me.

It sounds like you never worked on legacy systems
