You are merely describing companies that aspire to consider their code valuable IP, not companies that actually do so.

IDE updated? It’s the company IT’s job to perform testing before distributing those updates. And also their job to use whatever managed settings to disable those unmanaged AI features.

How's that any different from, say, Windows updating and backing up the company's code to OneDrive?

Actions speak louder than words. If the company doesn't even supply and require work devices, they don't effectively consider their code to be valuable IP.

Of course the company can still consider their code to be valuable IP.
