Yeah I'm really not sure why people take doing things that their employers don't want them doing as a challenge. Like how about the challenge instead be working within the restrictions? Or communicating with their boss what they need to get their job done?

They have no clue what legal requirements are imposed on the company that led to those restrictions. They could easily land themselves or the entire business in hot water by not complying. It doesn't matter how easy the controls are to bypass. Like, it's easy to pick or cut a LOTO lock, but that doesn't mean it's fine to do that.
