It's another form of coercive control.
It's the corporate version of governments with laws they don't consistently enforce. Yes, most people are technically doing things that are illegal pretty regularly. You won't get arrested or fined as long as you don't draw attention to yourself. But it gives the government the ability to target people at it's discretion.
Similarly a company that spies on it's employees doesn't care most of the time, but even if an employee is performing and hitting goals, it gives the company leeway to fire them if the employee gets on someone's bad side.
